That's a lot of whisky. For that much whisky, I might. But if I did, I'd do my best to flush all the birds wild out of range.
They were hunting wild birds in Wyoming where he lives, actually. Sorry you have no concept about this type of shotgunning. Wild quail hunting with a nice shotgun is a joy to those can appreciate it. great gun, good dog, good friends, great day
My bad, meant Rem. Lol, been a while since I was in the clubs. The Rem 1100 from years back and some Browning of which I do not remember the model. I left the clubs quite a while ago. I prefer to hunt solo. Just moved on like other things in life.
Not light at all, mine weighs a lot and sits in a corner for HD. Cylinder bore for close shots, it would work.
Incorrect, I shoot and hunt with a wide range of folks. The ones that irritate me are not the rich ones, but the poor ones jealous of others ability to own something nice, (a sort of reverse snobbery if you will). My most expensive shotgun as of now, cost $1400 and it was for the wife. And where I hunted, there weren't "hunt clubs" where folks spent lots of money to hunt on someone else's property, but out West chasing wild birds up and down some nasty terrain on BLM and NF land. Several of my friends have some very nice high-end guns; I can't afford them, but I sure can appreciate the quality and beauty of them.
When you're taking it up on the mountains, I'd concentrate in keeping the weight down. I hunt in wilderness, more often than not 10-12 hour walks from car or campsite and I've noticed that every pound counts. When there's a chance that the gun gets banged around, I have a Beretta 1202F. When everything stays civilized, a Benelli Centro Supersport. Both are lightweight, fast-handling guns, mainly for grouse. Interchangeable Mobilchokes, 12/76 / 3" chamber, inertia operated. It's a matter of personal preference but I've grown fond of them both.
Perazzi makes excellent guns for hunting, they are not just for target shooting. I know a guy with two of them. Way too rich for me lol.
The thing about them, though, is that you can order them exactly the way you want them - at no extra cost (except for wood upgrades or engraving) Want a straight English stock, POW or full tight radius pistol grip? OK, want the barrels a certain lengths and specifically choked? OK. Want the ribs a certain way? OK. Everything about the gun can be specified, making it truly a bespoke gun for a factory gun price. You won't get that from Beretta, Kreighoff or Kolar, all in that price range
I've tried to keep mine at around 6lbs. Supersport takes lightweight to extremes (carbon fiber rib, anyone?) and 1201F is acceptable at 6.3lbs. 3" magnums aren't comfortable to shoot but you don't really notice it while hunting.
d2, I have a Beretta 1200 and it has been a great light shooting gun. Of course the 1201 was used for the Military and Police. Have thought about having the barrel cut down as I just do not use it any more and not for the type of hunting I do. Nice simple design with not many parts. Most likely will give it to my son.Barrel is too long for my type of hunting.This gun shot just as good as a gun I made much more money for.
