I've been enjoying some layout boat duck hunting this year with my hammer guns, but it is hard on them. Lots of scuffs on the wood and metal as they lay across the gunwhales, etc. Do those of you who duck hunt with sxs's in boats use a dedicated [well used] boat gun, or do you use nicer guns and not worry about it? They are meant to be used, after all. Just curious.
I'll be re-working the wood and refinishing the barrels on this husky in the off season, but I'm not relishing the thought of getting it all dinged up:
