Dove hunting - What gun are you taking?

[Southpaw]

Yep I get that about the Darne action, which is actually a G rated name or label for that type gun action if your not mindful. That back edge that part that slides back also looks about as sharp as an axe. I hear wearing gloves is fashionably mandatory for shooting that gun. Not certain but also think the guy invented yard darts designed that gun.

Anyway enough about that and it may take a little learning curve but if you shoot a high percentage yield of dove/shells then that could be interesting.

I have the strangest fascination for the Darne. When I was around twelve, I got a copy of Shooters Bible for Christmas. I read that thing cover to cover, ingesting all of the articles, and studied the catalogue part incessantly. there was an article in that edition about the Darne guns, and the factory in France. Since then, I have always desired to own one, but until this gun arrived at my door a couple of months ago, I had never seen one "in the flesh". Although well used, it was very well cared for. The dimensions are really nice for a French gun, and so far, the Grackles are pretty upset with my decision to buy the gun! Still has the "Darne" sling swivels though!!
