If you were to buy a new(to you) SxS for hunting.

Well, the good news is... My guns are not like women, and when I take a different one out for some fun, the ones sitting in the safe at home do not get jealous. I only own one Parker right now, and I enjoy shooting all the various guns I own. So, not quite to the point where I'm only taking out Parkers.....

Good thing Model 12's are so tough, there is no need to apologize to it. :-)

A late BSE or B Fox could do all the shooting the fellow was talking about, right? The post 1980 guns had cut checkering and raised ribs. Also, a Winchester 21, or post war NID/LC Smith ought to be good for his purpose and worry free except for steel.

Picked up the Browning yesterday, very happy with the purchase.

It's is in excellent condition, with just a few handling marks on the gun.

And, I got it at a price that I was very comfortable with.

This is the first beavertail forearm SxS I have ever owned, that's gonna take some getting used to..... Wish it was a semi-beavertail, or even a splinter forearm..... But, for the purposes I bought the gun, I am ok with that. Gun has 26" barrels, choked IC/M.
