ya know what guys, hanging shotguns on the wall or locking them away in glass cases is missing the point anyways. until you've been surprised by jumping quail/dove or swung on a high passing goose or pulled up on a black duck that snuck into your spread you have absolutely no concept of what makes great shotguns great. you can read about it and regurgitate it but like driving a great car it's just not the same thing.

so if either of you guys actually use your shotugns for something other than measuring your peckers i congratulate you and suggest you do more of it. grab one of those beautiful old sxs's with double triggers and a box of Federal papers and go chase whatever game bird you have access too. some of us can only wish to have access to such neat stuff and bickering over where your 'collection' falls in the price range of old guns is just silly.

maybe i'll see if i can find some old 'hunting with hank' episodes on the 'net somewhere and cleanse myself of this ugliness.
