Took it out after Bobs yesterday. I was able to knock some down and got a higher percentage than I thought I would. The gun fits me well and comes up nice and carries well.

Failed to take a single picture though. Carried my camera all day.

I really really like the gun.

Best,

Mike

Mike,
Great to hear. Everyone that I've known that's had one of these guns has loved them. After just looking them over closely, I can see why. Need some pix though.

I'm really looking forward to taking mine out in a few weeks after a mixed bag o' pharm phez/chukar, and maybe some quail.

I am going tomorrow by myself. All my girlyman friends are staying home cause it is Valentine's day. I actually think it is because it is supposed to be cold and rain a little bit. I promise if I have some success tomorrow I will take some pictures.

Best,

Mike

I just ordered a small batch of Win, Fiocci, and STS ammo for some pattern tests in my 28g repro. I'm interested in loads for quail, dove, chukar, and pheasant. The Win #5 and #6, 1 oz loads, as well as Fiocci 7/8 oz, #5 and #6 loads are on the way. Some AA and STS loads should take care of the small bird and target needs.

I heard you can use a white grease also with good results on the steel board

While living in England some 35 years ago I would shoot at the West London Shoting Grounds. The first time I shot with them they fitted me to a SXS and I would fire at a metal plate that had been whitewashed between adjustments. I have shot at metal plates with grease and did not like them as well as the whitewash.

I prefer paper to a grease plate.
