The most nostalgic gun I own is my big HE grade, 32" barreled, 3" chambered Fox duck gun. It has been a regular worrier of ducks ever since I acquired it, maybe 15 yrs. ago (?). I take it to Arkansas every year for ducks and, with bismuth, it has never let me down. Three years ago I went 6 for 6 with it. It is Thor's hammer, on ducks.
It is likely the last S X S I'd ever part with. |

I hope your PA coverts have a good nesting season.

That makes some sense, but 13 flushes is outstanding. Western parts of NY are clearly better than the eastern parts this past year or two. So far if this rain doesn't let up the nesting season will be bad in upstate NY.

Rather than deciding on a "last gun" I seem to be going the opposite direction. I made an offer on a 29" barreled English .410 ejector gun yesterday, with 3" chambers and heavy nitro proof. We'll see. |
