I can see the family resemblance...
Nice pics

Out on the foreshore of the Exe Estuary, Devon, UK using my Paton double 8ga for the first time Two double misses at Canada geese but a huge amount of fun had nonetheless. Great memories to cherish during the off-season.

Now just how much does your date weight? That girl looks huge, The paton that is.

I can almost hear Destry drooling way down heah'.

but pictured is a limit of snow geese taken with a Greener single
10 with 40" barrel and 3 1/2" chamber. 9 1/4 lbs. Not saying we don't miss, but I always get my bird on the first shot......

nice gun more picks please

Surprisingly reasonable - effectively 12lbs which for a double-eight is on the lighter side. It has 32inch Damascus barrels which help keep the weight down - but the barrels alone weigh 7lbs . With a 2oz load, it almost exactly conforms to the old 6lbs/1oz shot rule so recoil not an issue.

THAT'S AWESOME! Congrat's looks like a great shooter!

Tell us more about your Alaska trip. I'm desperate to get up there for a hunt. Where were you? Did you have a guide? I don't know anyone else who has taken their dog up there.

CBL,

Very nice, I do like the gun for certain. I've flighted the pinkfeet coming off a loch near Aberdeen with an 8 bore and it's a memory I won't ever forget.


Destry

Markethunter, was that Lock Skene by any chance? If so I have shot there a few times. I used to take a weeks roe deer stalking and a couple of goose flights thrown in. Used the old Lang double 8. Oddly there are more pinkfoot geese than greylags there but try as I might I never got a pink; had a few greys though. A right and left with a double 8 takes some beating. Lagopus.....
