Eric, Could you bring the 8 to Hidden Hollow? That would be a great gun to display.....

Eric, tell us about the provenance and serial number of your D grade 30" gun. TPS mentions that there is only one Damascus eight gauge D hammerless with 30" barrels. Is this your gun?

No Bill it is the only fluid steel gun made with 30" barrels.
Dave let me think about that I would like to just have to see.
Dean this is a lightweight compared to that one.

Bill you forgot to answer my question, did pigeon shooters ever use these for compitition?. I mean that is the only thing that makes sense.

I have a friend who takes his 8ga (sleeved to a 10ga) out to the Dakotas for spring snow geese. No guide, no decoys. He simply gets on a fence row, along a flight line and pass shoots at what most consider lonnnnnng shots. He keeps a log and I believe he told me a couple seasons back, he went 60 for 64 shots.

Having been with outfitters several times for snow geese, I would much rather take my retriever and relax on a fence row by myself or with a friend.
