Charlie,
Where do get 8 Ga cases? Can you get them already loaded?
Shooting an 8 ga #7 frame would be awesome.
On the other side of the scale I shot my Trojan 20 ga at doves this morning in the CA Central Valley.
I've been shooting that since I was 12. First gun I ever owned.

Precision Reloading sells 8 ga industrial hulls that you have to resize .
RST is going to start selling loaded 8 ga ammo in the future . I talked to them about a month ago . They were in the pressure testing stage .

A few years ago, eight gauge Davenports were plentiful and very cheap. Now they are scarce as hen's teeth and very expensive. I bought mine at a Virginia show a few years ago, came back the next day to buy the dealer's stash of eight gauge ammunition and it was long gone. I probably got the gun just in time.

seems they usually sell for around 1500$ which is what that one on GI sold for . I remember seeing a thread on another site . A fellow bought a sawed off 8 ga Davenport with some loaded industrial ammo that would chamber it in . He planned to shoot it like that .... Wonder how that turned out .

I have seen some Davenport and H Allen 10 gauges but they seem to only sell for a fraction of the 8 gauges . From what ive gathered the Allen guns are the same as the Davenports .

The Davenports seem pretty light for a 8 gauge all the ones I have seen are around 10lbs . Their barrels are pretty thick one I seen had .120 minimal wall thickness .
