My first sxs was much lower on the food chain: a simple 16ga Stevens-made Springfield marked 5100. Twas my companion for many seasons and I sometimes think I shoot it better than any of my small arsenal - I once took a limit of four wild prairie roosters with four shots from that lowly old gun. I still have it; it's been demoted several times, moving down the row in the cabinet to its current resting place in a rack I made at the end of my desk for overflow. It has come out on the occasional rainy day...

Phil, One doesn't see many of those Stevens guns in that kind of shape. That's a beauty.
