Started hunting at age 12 with my dad's 16ga SxS. That was more than half a century ago. Never really liked pumps and autos although I owned and used a few over the years. By 1964 I had a Kreighoff 32, and shortly thereafter a few Parkers passed through (still have a 20ga which is my favorite hunting gun) as well as a couple Lindner Daly Diamond grades. Problem is my threshold of monetary pain grows dull, enabling more expensive habits than I really ought to start. Once high quality engraving gets you the game is lost! Have you ever handled a Flli Rizzini sidelock! Don't!!! I can educate several of my grandkids for what those sinfully elegant temptations would cost me and great grandkids aren't many years away.
