Browning BSS Sidelock in Kansas

[6pt-Sika]

I bought a nice new Browning BSS Sidelock in 12 gauge that was 26" IC/M . when I first joined my local gunclub that was my first skeet gun LOL's . I initially bought it for Grouse at the same time I went to Michigan for a setter pup .

Never used the BSS for Grouse however . Bought the thing at Clark Brothers Gunshop in Warrenton VA back when they were in production somewhere around 1985 I think . As well as I remmember it was $1350 at the time . Later I wished I'd gotten a 20 gauge 26" IC/M but such is life .

I might add when I first joined the local club I was shooting skeet with factory 3 dram skeet loads . Mostly to get hulls to start loading anyway those heavy skeet loads were a bit stout on the shoulder with no recoil pad on the gun LOL's !
