The Perazzi will be LM/IM and I can shoot spreaders if I feel the need to. I think my choke tubes in my Beretta 694 have been in there for three years, I should see if they are welded in : ) I'd rather floss my teeth than clean choke tubes.

Good choice of chokes. Spreaders are the nuts for close targets, especially rabbits inside 20 yards.

There was some crazy dude down in Meshoppen, PA, who once did a rabbit inside 20 yards on station 9 that only momentarily appeared out of a gully for about 2 nanoseconds. Sadistic SOB if I remember correctly.

What a bastage!!! Can't believe anyone would torment such pleasant shooters with a target like that! I will give him a stern talking to and let him know 2 nanoseconds is way too much time.

Daryl, I ordered the MX8 31.5" fixed LM/IM with the 11x11 broadway trap type rib. Dropout leaf springs. From Pacific Sporting Arms. It will be one year next month. I'm dying waiting. I love how they shoot. I may not shoot better but life is short, right?

You will shoot better. I have the MX2000 with the tram line rib. Love it. But the MX28, now that's a whole different puppy.

Yeah that's a bit above my pay grade Daryl but I've shot one. W O W.

I actually sold two smallbore (20) Parkers to buy the MX28 and walked away with cash in my pocket. Wish I had done it years ago.

Frank somehow I missed this, and I've been crazy with all sorts of life stuff.

Here's a funny story. I went to Brea, CA to visit my daughter around late February who is training as a dancer. I had had my eye on a High Tech Lusso 33" barrels one owner listed at $15,000 with Wilkinson chokes at Pacific Sporting West. I kept telling Jordon "If my MX8 doesn't get here I'm going to have to buy something soon, I'm going nuts." While I visited her I made my way to West. I walked in to see the place (wow) and there was a sold tag on the High Tech. I said, "Just as well, I don't need to buy that when I have one on the way." He winked and said, "It isnt' sold, I knew you'd buy it if you picked it up." So he gave me a great deal, $12,000 out the door including shipping about 99% condition. Had it shipped, shot it once, and I got the call the MX8 arrived. So now I have TWO. I'm thinking of selling the High Tech Lusso, but for that price I may be dumb to do that. Adjustable comb to boot. I'm short so 33" seems a tad long but it sure swings perty.

I am interested in the 6 pound 1 ounce 29 1/2" Perazzi. Is there a dealer or a catalog that offers such a gun? I have become unable to handle my 9 pound long barrel small bore Berettas and need something else. The dealers and catalogs are a little light on six pound long barrel guns.
