Where are all the shotguns?

[nontactical]

My Grandad left us a Winchester pigion grade SxS in 12g. It was unfired until I took it to Kiowa Creek for an afternoon. Works great, kicks like a mule, and it went back into the safe. Left a huge welt on my right cheek. I'll try to post some pics tomorrow. My grandad bought it NIB from Carl at BaileyGuns several years ago. I think it was made in the 60's. He got a smoking deal from Carl if I remember he paid $1200 NIB. I was with him when he bought it, so..... I think that makes it mine . Krasni will just have to wait for me to croak!

M23 I assume? They don't usually kick that hard... what the hell were you putting through it? I have several sxs guns that kick harder than my 23.

$1200 is a smokin' deal... that gun is well north of $2k now.

I was a retard and ran the 2 3/4" high brass #5 field loads. The first 50 rounds werent bad, but the last 30 about killed me. Thing shoulders to my cheek bone for some reason, and is fairly light. My other doubles dont do that, but I'm sure it's just the way I'm shooting. And yep, Carl treated him right. I just hope I didnt lower the value much by putting 80+ rounds through it.

Stuart, your killing me .
