Geez, Gil, most guys are looking for lighter guns to lug around as they get older. If thats what you wanted, good on you.
Anybody figured out what to do with a dead Canada goose? When I draw the short straw and end up with one, I have it ground into sausage. Seems like a waste of good beef or pork that gets mixed with it, however.
Best,
Ted

A ROUND ACTION COMES HOME: In 1968 I bought an early Dickson Round Action non-ejector and sold it in 1972. However after about ten years I regretted selling the gun and endeavoured to replace it, but could never quite get what I wanted. In February 2002 a friend told me of a non-ejector Round Action for sale and quoted the serial # which I recognised immediately as the gun I once owned. When the owner heard of my interest in the gun he was quite amenable to my buying it. Sentiment is not good thing to go shopping with, but in the end I purchased. It is in its original oak and leather case. So after 30 years a Round Action comes home. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v707/ptarmigan11/MyPictures0010_zpsc75dc42a.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v707/ptarmigan11/MyPictures0017.jpg

Red Grouse, what a gun! I would be happy to swap with you.  Ted, Everyone needs a reminder of their foolish youth. Mine weighs 11 lbs. Three other reasons: 1). There is no fool like an old fool 2). See no. 1 3). This one you'll love. Drumroll. The gun I swapped for it was my 1998 SBE. Ta-da! Gil

I've got one of the first, maybe 8 years older than your former gun was, and I can't figure out what to do with the thing, as it won't run on less than 1 1/4 oz loads. Hell, I got a bunch of 3 1/2" Roman candle looking loads I'd toss in with it. Make me an offer. Best, Ted

Ted, thanks, but even though they are great for their purpose, mine was a dedicated turkey gun and I now prefer single-shot hammerless subgauges for the job. I also see a few more gobblers with Brutus Maximus, just for old times' sake. Gil

Interestingly I ran across two(2) 500,000 Ithaca 12 G Magnums this weekend. One is a grade 2 with extractors and the other a 4E with single trigger, Vent Rib and Monte Carlo Stock.
Price is Big but I'm very tempted.
