Re: 28 gauge o/u

If you're looking for a 28 ga compact, you might want to look at swampfox's Savage 555 28 Gauge Compact in classifieds here. Great choice! Jim, I am guessing a trigger job by a good smith would be more effective than the cost of a new gun. That is if all other aspects of the Tristar appeal to her. ...

Re: Weatherby Element 20ga pattern

I ordered a Trulock .560 for mine. Getting it drilled and tapped at the moment. I’m going to use the Burris Marlin 336 mount and put a FF3 on it. I wish I could shorten the stock &an inch or so. May look into getting that done

Yes I sure didn't need another 20ga but when Buds had them at half price I couldn't resist the temptation so I bought one. Trigger is pretty decent but I am a trigger snob so I might try a Benelli spring kit as it looks really similar? Or does anyone have any recommendations for trigger fix? It is ...

That Vintagers Shoot is something I could get in to, too bad my bank account disagrees. The closest I can get is squirrel hunting with my old flintlock. https://scontent-ord5-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/369148903_10227766339202521_4423006547431812370_n.jpg?stp=cp6_dst-jpg&_nc_cat=102&ccb=1...

Re: Bobwhite SxS sights

Im seriously considering one of these in 20ga . Those of you who have them, is the barrel regulation acceptable. I will definitely go with the skinner sights. Also what chokes does ot take?

Barrel length

I’m contemplating having a barrel cut down. Problem is, it’s a ribbed barrel and to hit a post I’ll be at about 19”. Has anyone compared performance on a barrel that short with a 24” plus?
