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.

Hmmm, why do you think I only look at my firearms??????????????
I hunt every year. I hunt Red deer, Roebuck, fallow buck, Chamois, Boar, Afican antelope of several species, rabbits, hares, more type of birds than you can shake a stick at and with a pellet rifle and pistol every insect off my terrace with eyesight, flying or crawling.
I shoot every one of my firearms, from black powder to smokeless and air. I reload the uncommon calibers and repair and refurbish firearms (I used to work in the British guntrade) as a hobby for friends.
So, I think my opinions have some validity.
