Bucket list gun for 2023 is here!

[Mike of the Mountain]

There are two guns that were on my 2023 bucket list, both Parkers. One will remain nameless until I have it, the other arrived Thursday. The big bore craze took hold of me and I finalized a deal that was begun October-November of 2022. I finally have a 1908 PH 8 bore, 34” and just over 12 lbs!! CPG, twist bbls, solid gun that originally sold in 1908 for $105. I am very happy and thank my buddy Craig for his help in making this happen! Big Boomer events just got another competitor!!

Nice gun. Bring it to the Southern. We plan to have another 8ga get together and 5 stand shoot off on Friday. Shooting an 8 puts a big smile on your face, big fun.

That's the plan. Just need to load up some shells so I have enough to bring along. Roll crimper is coming as well as overshot cards. Also have a punch coming to make wads and cards.

Always good to have a nice, new toy to play with over these winter days. That one looks like fun.

I try to stay away from guns that weigh more than I do.

Maybe we can talk Daryl into doing a 8ga only class at the Bo Whoop.

Not a problem sir ! I’m sure it’s in good hands . To me the coolest thing about that gun were the letter instructions saying shoot buckshot close , it was ordered by a lumber company in the pan handle of FL I assume for gators . A pic of the gun with a small six pointer it ran into a couple seasons ago .

Way to go Mike,
Welcome to the 8 gauge club, hopefully we can keep growing the 8 gauge group and have 8 gauge awards at all the shoots. We appreciate the event put together for 8 gauges at Rock Mtn,
Stan
