A FAIR Iside can be had in 16, several different trim and trigger options from basic to knockout. https://www.fair.it/en/products/hunting-shotguns/side-by-side/iside/ I'm really thinking hard on the other Rizzini, a 550 or 552 in 16 though. I'd have to get permission from the Warden though...

Love it. Leather strings would look great. I’ll forget this by fall.

If my shorthair identifies as a lab, these ducks identify as pheasants. His first duck hunt at 7 years old. Retrieved 22 ducks in 3 days this week as we visited the wife’s family in Texas.

Can I hijack my own thread with some waterfowl action? My 11 year old daughter got her first game animals today, a gadwall and ringneck. My 14 year old boy is really becoming a decent shot. And my 7 year old shorthair has retrieved 22 ducks in 3 days this week as we visit the grandparents in...

About 15 or 17 years ago in Kansas was pretty hard to beat. 4 man limits of 4 birds in a few hours. We haven’t even bothered going the last 2 years though out west. Would have loved to see some days of the “golden days”. Have been very lucky to have friends with private access in South...

Great articulate reasoning on why the new are junk and the old are better. I traded a bucket of tomatoes to him for it as he was on his death bed, he probably told my grandma how he took me on that deal.

My Ithaca with likely 50 years of coverup.

I know it’s your opinion and others have opinions, but elaborate on your reasons? I have neither. Unless you count my grandpas Savage 745 that’s close.

I bought a 1950s Ithaca 37 that had a slip on pad. Under the pad was significantly darker than the exposed wood. Like perfect line and substantially darker. Stripped the finish and redid the stock. The solution is to put a Pachmayr Old English Decelerator on it and be done with it.

I was looking for a BR110 last year and ended up picking up a used Rizzini Aurum Light (20 guage, alloy frame), for less than a new BR110 was from the Cabelas used gun rack. Love that thing. My problem is I have way too many to shoot now.

I hear what you’re saying. 71 year old dad and 17 year old nephew today. Now we are halfway through our 10 hour drive home.

17 year old nephew on his first SD trip. He might have been spoiled beyond what he realizes this weekend.

Saturday was a nice, cold December day.

That taking the safety off as the gun is shouldered is so ingrained in me, that the occasional times I'll leave the safety off as I'm shooting backyards clays (standing in position, at the ready to make the shot), that it messes up my mount. I can't even do a premount to shoot clays (or actual...

Final Rise touts their straps as having no padding or obstructions to mess with a gun mount. 🤷‍♂️

A neck gaiter is a must when windy and cold.

Merino base of a tshirt, long sleeve tshirt, ot heavier quarter zip with hood. Then a quarter zip synthetic long sleeve of some type. If it’s dry maybe a Western Welder pearl snap. Sometimes a synthetic hoody if it’s cold Outer shell is an old Cabelas wind stopper upland soft shell. If...

Oldie but a goodie.

I used bacon for my fat. I think straight pork fat and a bit more would have been a better choice. It wasn’t bad by any means. I think straight pork fat would have been better. I make a lot of deer sausage. Keep things cold. On the verge of frozen. It all goes through the grinder better...

I have redundant doubled up paracord on my 550 plus, both long enough I can use around my neck for short jaunts. On all day hunts I loop them through a loop on my strap vest and rest it in a pocket.
