Holding the gun up is worse than recoil. That's why I shoot a ten pound eight gauge. It weighs less than my Krieghoff skeet gun.

Mike, the bargain basement Greener you mention is not a real W.W.Greener. To enter the eight gauge shooting game, you may have to pay a bit more. However, there are good eights out there for reasonable prices.

Still an 8g and that gun couldn’t be any more bargain basement.

I'll definitely be watching that and probably watch that and the ruger 44 carbine fly past the suggested selling price. Those two are under

Just registered and bid on the 8Ga. I don't want to get caught up in a bidding frenzy but would like to join the 8 Ga. ranks.
