Nice
Skeet, Your last reply pushed a couple of my buttons. Nothing negative, far from it. I had a fellow that was in his late 80's giveing me skeet shooting lessons. He had been in the Army Air Corp in WW2 and laughed about his job. He was an officer and was assigned to fly around to the different bases to set up skeet ranges and teach the bomber gunners to shoot skeet so they would do better at shooting down German fighters. He was a heck of a skeet shooter even at 86yrs. He told me he shot enough skeet he could probably hit them with his eyes closed. He passed away about 3 years ago and bequeathed a couple of his rifles to me. A really fine fellow.
The other thing was talking about Model 12s. I just got one off of Trapshooter.com. I had been lookintg for a 16 gauge with 28" barrel with modified choke that I could build up with a rib and new wood for a personal field gun. What I found is what I wanted to end up with, but now it is complete and all I have to do is get some shells. That 16 is the best balanced of the Model 12s. I am going to give some pheasants and quail some grief this fall. You are the man if you have the set including the 28 gauge.
