My Tundra shuts off at 112 mph....it will tow my Airstream at 90 mph with ease....and I feel like a super herO every time I shoot my 130+ year old damascus barreled Scott with heavy Nitro loads....
How's shooting a 100+ year old damascus gun make you feel Moses ?
Do you shoot light wimpy loads through yours or heavy manly nitro loads ?
Truth is I don't think anyone here is scared....
My Damascus gun is 127 years old & has 2 1/2" chambers.
I shoot Mag-tec brass with 7/8 oz shot & 80 gr 2f black.
I make sure to regularly check the condition of the tyres on my Ford & service its brakes at regular intervals & drive it within its limits according to the conditions. Even though if I souped the motor & put big NITRO wheels on it we could go harder.
My auld g0n was designed & proofed for the type of load I shoot in it.
Because it is in g00d condition & the previous owner has shot 2 3/4" factory shells through it I have complete confidence in its safety.
Hot & heavy loads go out the end of a Mossberg 95 goose gun or a British double 3" chambered 30" barrelled live pigeon gun. Which, by the way, is over 100 years old.
Just as when I want to drive hot & hard I drive my Fiat 131 super brava with brake & tyre upgrades.
Horses for courses & the same reason we don't shoot at grizzlies & buffler with a 22lr.
Even up close
