For ducks, geese..... and other game where I use buckshot or slugs, like coyotes etc.....I turn to my trusty Beretta S685'S that I bought new in the early 80's in Europe.....a 12 and a 20 ga. non-ejector with chrome lined bores, both choked M/F......I've shot thousands and thousands of rounds through these guns without a glitch ever.....Beretta's quality is above reproach IMO.....including some foreign country high volume wing shooting............just love 'em and will pass them on to my sons........




SHOT A LARGE NUMBER OF DUCKS WITH THIS OLD 12/30" GUN OVER THE YEARS ....


Cheers,


Doug

1893 Parker NH 10ga 32", 10lb 5oz. It's good on crows too, I have shot over 1000 rounds of 1 1/4 ounce #6 reloads at crows since August 2010.

Here's my serious duck buster. Parker DH 10 gauge with 30" 3-iron damascus tubes. Little over 9 pounds on a #3 frame, made in 1910. Ounce and a quarter of bismuth is great!

Mark- Semper Fi- I hit a negative trying to get hooked up with the www.Hunt101.com, so I tried the Photobucket and was able to pull up two fotos of my Ithaca NIG 10 bore hammer gun. But I didn't know what kind of paste you meant (library- Elmer's- Gorilla Glue) and as Craig Larter is the "Founder of this Feast" I sent the two fotos to his e-mail at clarter@rochester.rr.com (and my log in name on photobucket is Lufton Pittman. So, if he knows how to do the pasting, perhaps he'll do this for me.

Isn't he the "Head Fred" at the Fox Collectors Assn.? Nice CE/HE, although the Parkers have a simpler system- just CHE and save a letter- pretty great-I do have one Fox double, a 20 Sterlingworth with DT and ejectors made in Utica NY about 1935-- I bought it hoping we would get a legal dove season here in MI- 28" barrels choked M & F- but the dove season never quite made it- so the old- "hope in one hand and crap in the other" wisdom done prevailed.

I use RST 2 &7/8 Nice-nicely shot loads in this cannon- hammers the living daylights outta the Canadas over dekes- like you, I also had a great early season- and the regular one that opened this past Sat. has also been good- until mid-morning- then it's clean the birds, the gun, shower, have lunch and go play golf--life ain't all that bad, hey??

Our waterfowl season opened this weekend and our wintering population of Snow geese are starting to pour in. Looks like they had a good nesting with quite a few juveniles.The weapon of choice this weekend was a J.& W. Tolley 12 ga. 3" magnum BLE. The "Altro " model. Definitely does the job if I do mine. The score stands at 18 for two mornings with a rematch tomorrow.

Hey Marine!

Get you head out of your butt! How the heck did you come up with Elmers? I think you need to enlist in the Computer Corps so that a Geek Instructor can purge your mind of slimey civilian non-computer savy thoughts.

I'll play.
We went out my back door and shot these just for this thread.
Mark's Greener


My Remington 1894



I'm pretty satisfied with the New Era 4's. 4 for 4. No recoil, no noise. Have not tested them at range though. I'm conditioned to shooting them close due to steel useage.

I drag out some other waterfowling side by sides and shoot some more geese tomorrow for the site.


Out there doing it best I can.
