Lets See Your Upland Shotguns

Aegis said:
A few years ago I got this wild idea that what I reeeeally needed was a 16 gauge over/under, and ended up buying a Franchi Instinct SL. Very light, and shoots like a dream; as they say "shoots like a 12 and carries like a 20."

Before long, I realized that what I reeeeally needed was another Franchi in 20 gauge, so I got another Instinct, this time in the fancier LX trim. These guns fit me perfectly and I cannot miss with either one of them. I've heard the Franchi Instinct referred to as "the poor man's Beretta," but honestly, I don't think I'd trade either one for a Beretta. The most difficult decision I have when going out for birds is which one to take.

Beautiful shotguns!

However, you just put the hex on yourself. One should never say the words "I can't miss".... ;-)

This is my Hardy Bros 16 bore side by side; well over 100 years old, but added a red grouse and a snipe to the bag in South Wales. Apologies, it's not the best photo.

Well, all good things come to pass and I have sold my Hardy. It looks like it's destined to leave the UK and head for Rock Island; I hope it gives it's new owner as much pleasure as it gave me.

A two minute video I made of our recent Safari. I think it turned out well

Jake, Sorry to bug you again. I was wondering if you could share a. couple actual pics of this crossbow with me?

Xpedition Archery USED Scrapeline390X Sniper Gray Crossbow XACW1001 - Light Wear - Needs Bolt/Arrow Guide Spring UA5689​

If it is in a decent shape, would you be willing to sell it for $100 shipped? IS it missing the retention spring that goes over the bolt?
Thank you Ferenc

Good morning John, I just read your setup procedure for the northstar duplicator ator. I found it very hand and I did learn some things. I have the same machine and I am having a problem i can not figure out and was hoping you could shed some light on the subject.
