It doesn't get much better than that!
Congratulations Steve! You're going to love that gun! I was grouse hunting in Vermont with Dave and Danny Suponski in a cover we call the "Pine/Apple Bowl" when a grouse flushed 25 yards in front of me and crossed right to left going away hard. Danny heard him but never saw him and I fired my left (M) barrel as the bird vanished behind a screen of gnarly scrub-apple. I didn't think I connected but owed it to the grouse to take a look. when I got to where I should start looking nearly 40 yards from where I shot, there he was on the ground stone dead! I was shooting RST 28 gauge Lites in #8. And I have killed other grouse at similar ranges - certainly not the norm but certainly do-able with that combination. I am a firm believer in that choke, that gauge, and that load as a great game-getter. . .

You had better look closely before the inspection period ends. It looks to me like one of the triggers fell off.
Seriously, one heck of a piece of wood! |

Off GI Allen.
Yeh Gary, sometimes you have to make sacrafises in life But actually I like both a double or single trigger. As long as it works makes no difference to me

That may well be the nicest piece of wood I've seen on a Repro. Well done!
