Superposed

Had a couple of the ol superposed and they were good guns but in 12 ga kicked the snot outta ya. Understand i shot a LOT of shells back then. 75,000 or more a year. The darn things just got to be too much in the thump line ...and to be very honest the quality of the steels then were not as good as the Jap made guns..The blue wore badly and the guns wore appreciably when shooting like that. I had a Browning Broadway that i shot at trap for a while(PAIN). Sold that thing and later found a Charles Daly configuration of the same gun(Browning sued them and they only made a few). Seriously, the gun kicked less and the gun handled the quantity of shooting better than the Browning.. I also had a Browning 4 bbl set once for a short time and no 2 bbls seemed to shoot to the same point of impact. The 410's were way off. Browning would not fix it either. Kinda soured me on them.

The JC Higgins M-20 was a gun made by High Standard and the darn thing was one of the smoothest pumps you could find back then. And if it had the Pachmayr Power Pac choke it was very versatile. A friend had one in 12 ga that he shot at skeet and you couldn't even see him pump the gun. He shot a 99 with it in a registered shoot one day...missing the last gimme bird of the match. Not expensive guns but they really worked well. That fellow is visiting here now and I know for a fact he still has that gun cause I found him an extra short range choke for it at the last gun show I went to.
