-check out any M12 with a Simmons or Moneymaker rib and a "pregnant do-do birdie" scratched on the magazine ext. with the lettering "Pidgeon Grade" at least they spelled Grade correctly-- what was it old P. T. Barnum said- about "one born every minute, and two waitin' to take his $""-- Another VH 28 discussed herein was said to have 26" uncut barrels both Full Choke- wow- I don't mind "rag-rippin'" a flying poopwagon (barn pigeon) with either my 12 PH 30" F&F or my 12 32" Smith 2E 32" F&F) but for grouse, quails, timberdooles, perhaps a tad too tight- does anyone make spreader loads for the 28 bore today?
