CZ Bobwhite; old one not the newer G2. This gun handles beautifully and you can drag it around all day. I got lucky with the wood and the case hardening!

This is why you buy a SxS! Beautiful opening day rooster alongside a sleek little 20 gauge.

Please don’t force @roverandbrew and me to stay too late…

Hell yeah! Lighthouse Children’s Home being photobombed by a dashing American!

…and what a trophy you are!

There was definitely a learning curve that came along with the transition over to SxS from O/U for me. Nothing huge, but a different way of doing things if that makes sense. This is coming from a guy that started out as a "shortie" using plain old Winchester Ranger 120 and Remington 870 pumps...

Yep. I’ve found more than a couple of my Africa hunting books there.

Rikus is small- you might be able to stuff him in a carry on…

I bought it also from Abe books- I went with the cheaper version (indicative of me hahahaha) for $5.79! From some little book joint in Montgomery, IL Great minds think alike. Thanks WAB!

During duck and geese, I’ve pretty much stopped even loading a third shell into my pump or auto loading shotguns. It seems that the third shell is more often times fired in frustration than anything else. If a cripple has to be dispatched, there is always time to load another shell. The SxS...

Love me some good ol’ SxS action! Sweet little CZ Bobwhite 20 gauge and a nice brace of early fall roosters.

Yep- the “MR” designator indicates Remington era production at Ilion facility. I have the 1895G version of that rifle and it is a hoot to shoot. There is a two letter date code on the barrel close to the receiver where you can find month/year of production. In my opinion, they are solid...

FYI on the subject of parking at the convention center, like Dave said, the primo parking is the small lot 100 yards from the door. We were lucky two years in a row and found someone leaving and grabbed their spot. The other two times, I parked in the federal lot (a couple of blocks down) and...
