62, I think?? Bought my first SXS at 15 from an older gent in town. Unknown Hammer 12 bore, thought it to be the ideal squirrel gun, doubled with both hammers cocked. Still have a bone bruise on my right index finger from wrestling with that puppy. I've been horse kicked with less distress. Should have laid off the magnum loads, but the tops of those Ohio hickory and oak's needed the extra reach of those big candles. In 68, bought my first SXS, Went to school at Adrian College, Michigan and 20 miles down the road was Richland Arms. They always had racks of all sorts of foreign double guns. So I bought a lightweight Richland sxs 20 ga. 3". It reinforced the pain from my early SXS venture. From the early 70's till the 90's my upland and waterfowl was served by a Beretta 657 O/U 12. I sold the Beretta to buy my first vintage SXS, a Fox SW 12 and the fun began. Randy
