My bro told me today he shot 800 yards for the first time and went 2for2. Said he had never shot over 300 yds before. I forgot to ask which gun was used for this at the shoot.
Furthest I have shot was 900 meters using open sites with tracers walking it on target with a M-60 :D
Wasnt a scope for the 223 he won on the 1st day it was a muzzle break from a vendor drawing he won.
Only guys that was in the actual shooting completions got in on the drawing for the gun. 5 events and only 1 ticket if you didnt win any events. If you won a event your name got put in 5...
I know now where my son gets his luck. My bro won this gun in a drawing this weekend at a shooting competition. Desert tactical arms srs 308. :O
He said it is about a $3500 gun, everything I find shows $4000+...
More fun breaking out the Springfield double 16ga (dad used) and the Essex 12ga (I used) to shoot some live flying nuisance things.
Dad gave me some more info on the Essex. My grandpa was born in 1899 and the shotgun was bought new in 1915 for $20 for his 16th birthday.
Had fun going through...
What a sweet shooting gun. Dad came up north for a visit, so I got the new to me 16ga double out to try.
Patterned it with 7 1/2 and 6's. $3 a box more for 16ga.
Then shot some clay birds and rabbits. Really really liking this gun.
Cant believe how quite it is for a shotgun ( just...
Just digging, Interesting info copy and pasted.
The gun(s) are what are known as "Trade Brand Name" shotguns. That is a shotgun made by a major maker for and sold by a wholesaler or retailer who chose the name to go on the gun. In this case, there were three makers over the life of the name...
I'm not worried about value on this gun.
I am either going to keep it and use it for my purposes of shooting occasionally or give it to my dad for his nostalgia moment with a string attached.
Hopefully this gun will get some kind of history with me or dad hunting with it so stories can be...
Refinished or not in the past dont matter to me. I'm leaving it just the way it is.
I do know now that the gun came from a deceased uncles collection and the guns were handed out to family members many years ago. The guy I got it from had bought it from a family member about 15 years ago he...
Unfortunately nope. It's just like a special field 12ga auto my dad has (that I wanted bad), comes up short to my shoulder.
So I know my dad will like it when we try it out.
Talking about a different gun shooting both barrels. Also I think I said (the gun that shot both barrels at times was) it was a 12ga and my dad as a kid.
I'll try and grab some pics today if time allows of plain jane.
? 2 triggers 1 for each barrel. only 2 rounds total and 1 for each barrel and trigger. So you've lost me. double barrel shotgun and you break open to put new rounds in 1 for each barrel. There is no holding the triggers to cont to shoot.
