I may have a "sporting clays" gun in the mail in the next couple of weeks. It is a gunbroker purchase. I will post my reaction to this gun when I receive it.

I'm pretty sure I have shot and slewn ducks with Destrys 3-frame DHE and it is a beast and a wonderful to shoot. No trouble swinging through with that baby. Am I remembering wrong Destry? Didn't I shoot that goose-sized drake canvasback in Ontario with that gun??

So is a 3 frame 12 or 10 as massive as other 10 game doubles? I saw a couple of Spanish 10 gauges this week. Thought they were Ayas but I think they started with Azz anyway, they were massive guns, I was surprised at the size difference on them.

I have a 2 frame 16ga. At first I found myself thinking the gun was too heavy for anything more than sitting on a dove stool, but then I actually shot a few pen raised birds with her and now Im not sure I have a better gun for sitting on a dove stool. It has definitely raised my interest in larger frame guns. Id now also like to find a 3 frame or larger gun.

The #3 frame guns aren't that massive really, they're just pleasantly heavy and feel good in the hand. The Spanish 10 gauge guns are huge, more like a #6 frame 8 gauge.

Richard, that's the gun I loaned you to shoot for sure. It's a canvasback killer!

I believe the Puglisi gun was a VH grade, he wanted some lunatic price for it like $40k. I never heard of anybody buying it, maybe they've still got it floating around.
