You got a real nice grade 2. You won't be sorry. The engraving is really nice too.

It has a rather nice dent in the right tube , but I think I can do a little something with that !

Semi happy is all about the Benjamins

I would have been MORE happy if fewer Benjamins had left my pocket .

I'm going to try this one on the skeet field wednesday afternoon .

Gun feels rather nice when you throw it up the drop is not that great or so it seems .

I would like to get another on a #3 with 32" F/F at some point I think .

Is it a 10 ga or 12? I have a 10 ga 2 frame 30 in. just like that and 1889 also.
Yours looks like a nice gun!

Good job! I have one like it, but not as nice as yours

I love that early GH/EH engraving. It is underrated in my opinion
