My grandad told me he wore a '97 out, shooting doves, ducks and quail. That is quite a statement and I've always marveled at the amount of wing shooting he would have had to have done to accomplish that.
Whan I was born in '51 he was shooting a Rem. M11 in 16 ga. As I grew to love shotguns I heard of an incident where he killed six quail on a covey rise. I was told this by a hunting partner of his. When I asked him how he did that he said his pumpgun would hold seven shells. I asked him if it had an external hammer and he said yes. Then, I knew he had been using a '97. When I asked him why he didn't keep it he replied "It was worn out!".
