I hunted Hungarian’s for a couple days last week with my brother in laws browning citori , for sentimental reasons , as he gifted me the gun when he died.
Yesterday I grabbed the instinct and it was so much nicer to not have all the weight

I took my GSP youngster out yesterday looking for some huns but just ended up with a long walk and no birds.

Not one of us with a legitimate opinion can tell you what to buy. Go handle every gun you can at three or four different places and buy the one you love. I’ve had good luck with some, terrible luck with others, but I use mine one way, other guys very differently. I love the Franchi and so does my daughter but only you can decide if you love them or not-

Gun fit is so very important when it comes to shotguns and especially field guns where quick handling is the order of the day. I had two Beretta 686’s that fit me for crap and it showed in my shooting. Changed guns and my scores went to the top.

Hello! I saw your post from last year about a missing crate from your hunt in Moz. I am curious how that all turned out? We (my fiancé and I) also hunted in Moz in 2024 and the trophies are being shipped with Hunters Services Limitada. We have some concerns on whether we will get the trophies home or not. May I ask who you hunted with?
