Doubleshotguns.com is a large dealer of 'Iside' in the price range you reference. Trouble is the F.A.I.R. Rizzini sxs 16 gauge guns are not on a gauge specific frame. They weigh as much as the 12 ga. In talking to the dealer he said that most shooters like a bit of weight with the 16. I then...

me to.

Beware the desire to employee magnum shells when it's late and cold. These heavy loads use slower burn rate, double based powders. They lean heavier on the nitroglycerin ratio. They burn even worse in the cold resulting in actually slower, less lethal pellets. I have a good side supply of...

I sense an attempt at humor...please explain: "have another one"

I used to hunt with a guy in Iowa that took this to the nth degree. On one hunt it got to where noon rolled around. We hit a dive bar and grill in a small town...great burgers, though. The four of us sat at the bar and the other two ordered beer. I could see that this got Mike in a bad mood. He...

When I lived in Iowa I believe I pulled a true triple. Setting the scene:...Hunting alone (of course), my springer and I stepped into a 'pile'...wings and snow everywhere. Killed the 1st quick on the rise then one tried crossing back behind me. I pivoted, swung, fired...two down. Took my focus...

I don't know how this will be received...but I'll drink and drive before I'd drink and hunt. You can correct a slight swerve at normal driving speeds fairly quickly if you're impaired. You shouldn't be out there...but we've all been there. No matter how you slice it, a charge of shot is faster...

It's been stated, but...pattern...pattern...pattern. It is the one thing any hunter can do to improve his odds and so few do it. Do keep an open mind, especially if you reload. A friend of mine was loading up a 'Ballistic Products' lead load, 1 1/4 oz. It wasn't really holding together even with...

Yep...Especially in the 70's early 80's. I was just a kid but the horrible blizzards we had in South Dakota...awful. I remember my dad being able to walk from the top of a snow drift to the roof of our garage after one storm. I read a lot of 'Field and Stream' back then and would dream of...

Hmmmmm...you're right. The DNR site states clearly "about 300,000" Strange...I have another source (and I'd have to dig it up) that said the 500K mark. Also...two weeks ago I was watching "The Flush" hunt Iowa and they also claimed the 500K mark so I guess I may have drank a bit of Cool-aide...

I've not read a great deal of his commentary but there is an old saying: "It's better to be silent and thought a fool...." aaaaaaaaaand you know the rest. ;)

Yeah...I understand the "rudeness" perfectly. But still...still like to feel the gun kick my shoulder a couple times a day. Otherwise...I'd just take a walk.

Go ahead...run home to mama. By the way..."Excessive Hoarding" was not part of my last post...why did you add that in your reply above?

:ROFLMAO: That was my point. Some of the commentary to my reply was as to physical stamina or masculinity. Well...I'm 6'3", about 290 lbs, played ball in college. In my prime could bench over 300 lbs with some ease...never believed in "maxing out". Our "grandfathers" worked as they had to. No...

just curious...why thumbs down. Please provide commentary as to what is wrong with my position. Anyone can call B.S. on an opinion. An intelligent individual can back it up with facts. The simple fact (that is my position) is that having a side supply to reload is advantageous to the avid...

Closer to two tons...but I was young and it didn't seem to bother me. Now that I'm over 50...NO WAY...it might sit in a duck boat but there is no way today I'd lug that thing over miles of cover. Don't get me wrong...great gun...pointed great. You certainly won't be stopping your swing. Gene...

Iowa had the highest harvest last year than it has in the last decade...a bit over 500K. They are coming back. I lived there for a lot of years after college in the 90's. Had access to some pretty good private land. My Springer at the time was an ace, and I killed a LOT of roosters. Then in the...

I had an 1100 magnum in High School...same issue. If you look in the barrel retention ring that slips over the magazine you will see only one gas port in the magnum barrel. If you really like the gun go in search of a standard barrel...it will have two holes allowing more gas passage and lighter...

I take your point...1 1/4 oz. is/was a staple. I'll leave it at that...involving shot size and brand name only starts fights. ;) Having said that I've killed a lot of pheasants with this load. However, my patterning showed me that unless you really choked down, 1 1/4 oz. of #4's got a little...

I've always been an avid reloader. I reload hevishot, steel, bismuth, of course lead, and have even dabbled in the TSS. I have hulls from 28 ga. to 10 ga. Have over 1000 in 10 ga alone. Buy my primers by the 5000 count. I have enough hulls, shot, wads and 'stuff' to last a lifetime. I also buy...
