Bore Gauge questions

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.

I bought my 12 and 28 ga Perazzis from a private dealer in PA. The 20ga came from a range owner in NC. Just got to put feelers out. If you are serious about a 28 I will keep my eyes open for one and call my friend in PA.
