I have been through a few O/U's. I started out with a Browning Citori and moved onto a Remington 3200 before settling on a Beretta 686. I shot two, one in 12 and one in 28 gauge for years and sold both a while back. I shoot a 686 Beretta Whitewing Sporting now and normally shoot 22-23 on skeet with occasional, okay rare, moments of brilliance when I run them.
I wasn't too disappointed with either score. The Lefever is choked plenty tight for the good old days of waterfowling and the Bland is new to me and needs a slight bending to get it shooting where I'm looking.
The Lefever came to me a couple of years ago from a AA auction. It set there with no bids so I bid on it the last day. No other bids came in and I ended up with it. I've come to really like the older Lefevers a lot.
The Bland belonged to a friend of mine who is down sizing his collection. I've been wanting a 2 1/2" English 12 gauge and he was only to happy to help me out. I was recently promoted and he has promised, or threatened, to get every nickel of my promotion. He keeps tempting me with classic guns.
Paul, you should post some pics of that Lefever. It sounds like a beauty.
