What Won't You Buy??

[Stan Hillis]

I'm glad not all of us have the same likes/dislikes. Prices for the favored stuff would be astronomical. I won't buy any gun that is overpriced, regardless how much I want it.

I love ejectors for hunting. I've ordered two made to order 30" barreled .410s for doves and quail in the last few years. Both were ordered with ejectors. I never have an empty to hit the ground unintentionally, whether hunting or shooting sporting .....never.

I like recoil pads on my S X Ss, too. Not for recoil attenuation, but to protect the butt when I put it on the ground in a dove blind, or the wet steel floor of a pit blind in a rice field. It keeps the butt from sliding and slamming the gun to the floor, denting barrels and scratching stocks, too. I also almost always need more LOP on vintage guns, and a period appropriate recoil pad works to do that perfectly.

One more thing I won't buy is a gun without checkering, no matter how pretty the wood is. They just look unfinished to me.
