I don't know how many of you follow The Gun Shop on youtube, but it has some interesting topics from across the pond. I found this recent discussion and shooting of 4 gauges interesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2adqy1RkAvY&t=2052sOn the gun shop, Nick Horton, the Brit waterfowler, brings two 4 gauges for the young guy to shoot. The guns were modern builds in the Jones underlever style. In shooting these guns, Nick Horton notes in a droll and understated manner he has three questions running through his mind: How much does this load cost? How much lead do I need on this duck? How bad is this going to hurt? Gil

You arent looking for another turkey gun are you, Gil? That thing with TSS could probably kill a turkey on the roost even if roosting on top of the Empire State Building.

The way he wines about toting a 12 ga. I suspect he'd have to hire him a gun bearer to tote it...maybe even a shooter to shoot it.
No telling how many quail you could kill on the ground with that.
Just saying...

Buzz, wouldn't be legal here in the States. In Ga., the largest gauge for turkeys and waterfowl is a 10 ga. Federal law is a 10 ga.for waterfowl. A few states allow 8 ga. for turkeys. I believe eightbore was instrumental in his state's allowance of the 8 ga.for turkeys. The 4 bores in the video are massive and are two out of a 15 gun run by a gunmaker in the UK. I believe they are about 25 lbs. apiece. Nick says in the video it's a good idea to have someone else carry the gun to the blind.  Gil

Might want to take a look at this video as well.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMtVW2gSJ40By the way, you all remember that our own George L of Georgia still owns a 4 bore Reilly SxS....weighs in at over 29 lbs as I recall. Wonder what he would charge to let me shoot off one round?

Ah... The guns of choice of the gentlemen of the Carroll's Island Ducking Club.

I was just joking and laughing along with you on this thing. I bet that gun would cost close to $50 to load her up with that TSS. Fiscally, probably be best not to miss with that 1st shot!

Thanks for the recognition, but "eightbore" was not the person who helped get the 8 gauge legalized for non-migratory hunting in Arizona if I recall correctly. I am not sure of the gentleman's name, but I appreciate his effort.

There has to be a reason your name came to mind.  Thanks for the correction. Gil

Buzz, Not just fiscally, but physically, too. A smaller man shot the gun and appeared to suffer some consequences including a coup contrecoup closed head injury from the recoil. The comment was that the recoil was about the same force as being in a 30 mph car crash. Gil
