    Do you go afield with “hunting” or “nice” shotguns

    I’m a simple guy. I carry a Beretta 390 in the thick stuff for turkey, rabbits and deer or a Beretta 686 Onyx 20 Ga for birds.

    Recommendations for Pronghorn outfitter

    I’ve hunted pronghorn with SNS twice. They have access to some great properties and really take care of their hunters.

    The One Piece of Gear You Didn’t Know You’d Need in Africa

    6.5 PRC load

    I landed on N560 for 140 class bullets. H4831SC also performs well but is a bit slower in my 24" barrel.

    Bergara owners?

    I'm a big fan of Bergara. Of the four I currently own, all have proven to be good shooters. The factory triggers are very reliable and break consistently. The action smoothness is second to none.
