I feel sorry for you guys who don't have a 6 1/4 pound ten gauge, the ideal gun for pheasants, and grouse if you load spreaders for the right barrel. I have no idea how they get a ten gauge down to that weight with wall thickness in the thirties.

I have been hunting with a 2 frame VH 12 / 30" in Montana for several days. It weighs 7-12. I do ocassionally hang it on my shoulder as it has a sling. I am 192 pounds of 57 year old rippling muscle but, oddly enough, my body is overall shaped like a pear.

One of my favorite upland guns, a 5-12 VH 16 / 28", developed thrumb lever problems after it got rained on early last week.

This is the old beater twelve with eight Hungarian Partridge it brought down on Monday.


Best,

Mike

Mike,
Nice day and picture! One of my sons lives in Missoula, so I get out to Montana quite a bit. love the state.
My general feeling is that if it needs a sling and I'm not after waterfowl, I've probably got the wrong gun. I'm going to stick with the 20ga. for this excursion.

An update on the South Dakota hunting trip.
Brought the 20ga RBL for the trip. Hunted 5 1/2 days as planned. Miles and miles of walking and a goodly number of birds.
It helped that we had very good dogs with us.
The RBL acquitted itself very well. No arm or leg fatigue at all.
