Good Christmas trip to the old country. Fished for steelhead on Elk Creek (got to use a nice Billy Pate Salmon direct-drive), shot deer off of a jet boat w/a muzzle-loader, chased ruffed grouse with a boyhood friend, and, yes....bought a Model 31. I sort-of had to, because I gave away the little Model 12 20 I brought to my buddy. Got to have something to shoot in the time remaining here. My first Model 31, and even uncleaned from the bargain bin at the gun store, it's amazingly slick to pump. Did they really use ball bearings?
