My barely ten pound 30" DH eight is what skeet is all about. Maybe you guys should think about cutting yours back. Don't look for an original. Mine is the only 30" hammerless eight out there, or in the serialization book. I'm sure there are cut off hammer guns out there, though.

The PH according to the factory letter was bored for buckshot and it measures about ten thousandths more open than my hammer gun . I will guarantee you anytine I break 23 out of 25 on the skeet field the two I miss are no fault of the gun . And that reminds me I’ve yet to pattern that gun with the 000000 buck loads or any other size buck for that matter . Virginia as of this year has an early antlerless season starting 9/1/21 , might just cart that one along as a couple of my spots that time of year will be quite tight a perfect place for buckshot .

What do you use for a "cart" to haul that one from your vehicle to your stand?
