Guns I can’t shoot although there are exceptions for very early stuff. Honed barrels that are too thin are a deal killer.

Craig ain't joking, of course you all know that. He looked at my 34" VR double trap gun with a trap comb that would work for a balance beam and casually commented, that's too small for me. Jokingly said of course. Craig shops in the men's department for sure

I’m not much of a pump person but I have two Model 12’s . Not really much on semi autos either but I do have an A-5 and a Benelli . I’ve lost my intrest in Browning Superposed’s but still have a couple . Other than the R-32/K-32/K-80/K-20 guns I’ve pretty much lost intrest in O/U’s . As to doubles the euro stuff doesn’t intrest me much anymore and I hesitate to say it but Fox and Smith don’t get the looks I used to give them . And as to more Parker’s I’d like a lifter 8 gauge , one or two more 10’s , 32” 16’s both hammer and hammerless , a 32” 20 hammerless and dare I say it a 30 or 32 inch hammerless 28 . But I’m not holding my breath for any of them . Oh yeah I almost forgot I shot someones VHE 16 gauge skeet over the past weekend , I wouldn’t mind one of those if I ran across one . Took a couple shots with a friends DHE 12 34” shooting sporting today and as you might expect I wouldn’t mind one of those but I doubt I shoot it any better than my DH 12 32” pigeon gun .

Good! Leave them for me. That’s just what I like and if it has a straight stock even better.

Recoil pads, its going to have to be a smoking deal for me to buy a gun with a non factory pad.

I used to feel that way. Then I realized so many super nice guns of the period had pads added so I have taken that spec off my "do not buy".

The features which hold the least appeal to me in no particular order are:
1. Single triggers 2. Recoil pads " Especially on Grade 3 or higher Parkers" 3. Ejectors 4. Barrels longer than 30" 5. Frames sizes larger than 1 1/2 6. Big bulky beavertail forearms 7. Vent ribs on a SxS With That said: I own or have owned examples of all those pet peeve type guns. I guess it's just part of the my doublegun addiction. My preference is 16-20 gauge guns with double triggers, extractors, splinter forearm, around 6.5lbs and those just right sized 28" barrels. |
