Hey Jack!
Where you been? I was wondering if you were down helping Thorny out, haven't seen a Jack post in a while. Welcome back.
Perfect grouse gun? For me, thats easy. I already built it. Tobin 16. Restocked in a straight grip with nice streaked English walnut. 6lbs 4ozs-I don't shoot guns lighter than that all that well. Bores by Stan Baker, chokes loose IC and loose M. Double triggers please, hey, I have a handwarmer, and I know how to use it. The Tobin gift is the roller equipped triggers and locks. The Tobin curse is the quick off face death they suffer with SAMMI spec ammunition. You have to keep it light, a good thing, really.
A secret, when I load it with Eley VIP 5s instead of the 6s or 7s, it becomes a perfect pheasant gun, too. 'Ain't life grand?
Best,
Ted
