That makes perfect sense. Must have been for waterfowl shot from a blind or boat. Who would want to hunt any other way with a 12 1/2 lb. gun??

For me and Charlie thats about the perfect weight for a squirrel gun

. I would think if Mr.Sims did use his 6 frame on the family plantation perhaps it was carried alot on horse back and not carried far by hand .

I'll tell you who. Stan Hoover lugging his big 8 (15lbs if I'm correct) chasing ringnecks in SD cornfields. Didn't slow him up one bit.

He shoots pheasants with a 8 gauge ? That has to be one of the most fantastic things I've read haha . I wish we had them down in South Georgia .
