I am going to steal that line - beautiful!
We still shoot a fair amount of skeet and trap here on the farm, but we used to shoot
a lot.
Make no mistake, there is a huge gap between an 870 and a J. Purdey & Sons (even a '50/'60 870 is a vastly superior shotgun to today's 870 offering).
However, a high shot-count 870 driver is a match for an average Purdey shooter.
Seen it.
Not age related either, btw: I have seen some fairly competent shooters in there 30's and 40's get smacked around by high shoot count teenagers.
Seat time, trigger time.
