Anything on your 2020 Parker/shotgun shopping list?

[Mike Franzen]

A buddy I used to work with back in the 1979’s, one day showed up at my house with mod 70 375 HH. Said he had just bought it and couldn’t wait to try it out. He pulled out a cartridge and handed it to me and I thought holy sh€¥!! We set a tin can up about 50 yards out in the field. Neither of us had hearing protection, safety glasses or other non-essentials. He brought the rifle up and nestled it against his T-shirt. He took careful aim and squeezed the trigger. The massive blast momentarily stunned us. He reeled backwards 3 or 4 steps. Handing me the rifle he said you try it. I told him to go to hell. He never shot the gun again and shortly thereafter traded it away.
