When by myself, my "Tournament" marked Tobin 16, restocked by Randy Murray, with bores and chokes by the late Stan Baker, choked a loose IC and loose MOD. Low pressure Eley loads, of course, in this old timer.
When company is along, my Darne R10, once owned by Steve Bodio, restocked in St. Etienne while I watched, followed by a wonderful meal in the company of Hervé Bruchet and Richard Levi. The R10 is stocked in the unique French style of "Galwi" a gentle swan necked straight grip, with a classic Darne sling. Out of proof, short barrels, little to no choke left, and hits birds like Thor's hammer when loaded with 1 1/8 oz Eley Super Game loads. The sling allows for better control of the dog. Or, carrying an old pooch out of the woods when he can't go any further.
Best,
Ted
