Curious after My Perazzi Post

[ArtS]

I am odd in that I am not a serious shotgun shooter. I really shot a lot when Sporting first became accessable and always shot skeet and trap as a social thing, often quite a bit. In competition, I always preferred the Beretta but shot Brownings more. Go figure.
I always loved hunting but it too was a lot social. I tend to shoot most guns reasonably well and gravitated toward smallbores; 16 and 28 doubles hold a special place.

The gun I shoot most is generally the last one I bought. I tend to like them old and pretty with a lot of nostalgia.

Rifles are different with me. I was always a rifleman at heart. My criteria was always quality, looks and function. Above these was always accuracy. I used to build a lot of customs and have never owned a lot of stock rifles. I do have and shoot a few though, all very accurate or they left.

When I shoot competition rifle, there is only one goal and that is the most accurate gun I can bring to the line. I have won three national championships and they were shot with some beatup looking Heinz 57 guns that rotated in and out with changes.
