Legh, those are both really nice guns and are perfect for “pa’tridge an’ ‘cock.”
I hope we can get together in October when you get back to Vermont.

(I might even let you look at my NEW Sterly)

[QUOTE]Step up and be the high bidder on the Pineridge Grouse Camp three-day hunt in the Silent Auction this year Mills. You will NOT regret it!
Pineridge is THE place to get your feet wet on grouse and woodcock... Dis I say THE place?... hell it is THE BEST place to become fully immersed in grouse and woodcock shooting!

Dean, you are right on. Jerry does an outstanding job. Pineridge has an grouse camp ambience that can't be beat. I will be there the third week of October with a bunch of buddies for our fifth year in a row. I will be using my 1903 vintage DH 16ga, 26" barrels on an O frame choked .003/.012. Evan a man of my limited abilities can knock down a bird with this beauty every once in a while.

Oh my gosh!!!! First Kevin and then Dean go over to the wrong side of the tracks. A Sterly Dean? They are nice guns but geez, I thought you were a loyal Parker guy. I love the Smith's and Ansley's guns, but hunting with anything other than a Parker or London gun is not something that should ever be done. I saw the light years ago and sold all my "off" brand American guns. Hang your head in shame Dean.

Kirk the "cabin" is in Channing about 40 minuets north of Iron Mountain. Come on up and chase some birds.

Digging around in the safe I'm going to get the dust off a couple that I haven't used in a while, a GHE 20 w/26 inch Damascus barrels IC/M, H&H 26 inch 20 also IC/M, CHE 20 Damascus another 26 incher and a Fox A grade 16 factory straight grip.

Who among us would pass up a gun like this one? When I said "NEW" I meant NEW and when you talk about benchmark guns - this is certainly a benchmark gun. This is what a new Sterlingworth looked like when it left the factory in 1926.

Yes, I'm a Parker man through and through but who could blame me for allowing this one to reside in the safe with my best Parkers?

No one could blame you for buying that gun...but would think you were crazy to pass it up!
