Many people wanting a 28 want it for the svelte and graceful feeling of one. Not to mention how much lighter it would be to carry in the field for a day of hunting dove. @dgr416 - Have you looked at this one? GB - Beretta 486

Mrs BeeMaa books us at the Embassy Suites Downtown Nashville using points/miles. It's nice because if she gets overloaded with everything going on, she can easily walk back to the room and rest. I think she booked a room for 2027 as we were leaving the convention in '26.

I was switching all the time, but have acquired enough receivers that now they mostly stay put. Every now and then I’ll change things up, but not much. All scopes are QD and are stored separately to save space. Plus some have multiple options for optics.

@Ray B - As much as I would love to sell you some, I’d only recommend using it in modern firearms and with chokes rated for TSS. I wish you continued success in the waterfowl fields with your Parker using lower power bismuth shells.

@Hedge774 - LOL. The only problem is that tiger testes aren’t gonna help you in the goose blind. ;)

For reference, this is a shot I took at a bird at 40 yards and opening. This load has accounted for goose as far as 70 yards by me (on the ground and in the water) and a duck at 100 yard by my friend IGS. Distances were verified later by laser RF.

@K-man - Not sure your local club would be happy about you shooting full power loads, but hey…they will CRUSH anything you put in front of them.

This is Winchester Last Call that is all TSS shot, not Winchester Last Call Double Shot that is a blend of steel and TSS. I have two cases remaining, even though there are three in the picture. Each case has 100 shells. Price is $1K per case plus shipping. I did an estimate for another member...

What was it chambered in? Heavy in front of the hinge pin or the stock?

Given the choice, it would be an 88B every time for me. The Teutonic lines on it just speak to me. And they do have a bigger feel than the 89B. The 89B was a necessary evil to bring those longing for German quality but wanting British double looks. Unlike what Krieghoff and Blaser did with...

For those looking for more weight in your Blaser R8, this will do it for you. Plus it’s half off retail! Good luck with the sale my friend. BTW - Did you weigh this on a scale? I was told mine is a 12 oz, but I recently weighed it and it’s only 10.8.

Truthfully, I’ve yet to see an agent in RSA really care. I’ve heard horror stories about driving across the border to Zimbabwe, but that’s about it.

I carry ammo in the MTM boxes and have a little foam at the top to stop them from rattling around. Then I put those into a Pelican 1200 with little pieces of foam. I have them labeled for 375H&H and 300WM making it easier for my wife and I to keep our ammo separate. The little bungee keeps the...

I’ve always thought the 500/416NE made a heap of sense and disappointed that it didn’t really catch on. 416RIGBY performance in a flanged cartridge for a double rifle is a dream for me. I’m guessing you have a Krieghoff?

Along with stock design and weight, I'd say how much you are shooting it makes a huge difference. Recoil is cumulative. This is why shotguns designed for clays have recoil pads and weigh 8 lbs +. While field shotguns that are designed to be carried more than shot can forego the recoil pad and...
