Ted uses it every chance he gets! But, in difference to the age of the gun (about 100 years) it tends to get used in the early part of either grouse or pheasant season, in bluebird conditions.
I'm going to make that stockpile of Eley VIP 2 1/2 inch ammunition last, also.
After I got the 16 Tobin back from Stan,( he did a bit more than just open the chokes, the bores are back bored, forcing cones smoothed and lengthened, and some other stuff he didn't tell me, they look like consistant, mirrored tunnels) and put it together, I was so excited to use it, I went grouse hunting with it, having not fired a shot with it. I got one shot, at one grouse that day, and I got him. So, I don't know if I could ever sell it, anyway. I own two guns that I've done that with, both are 16s and neither are French.
Best,
Ted
