will wonders never cease My granddaughter has taken a liking to her grandfathers old M.S.. He used 160 weight bullets when he used it, but that was a while back I see wood leigh has 140 and 160 What are you fellows using ? thanks

+ 1 does the 3500 include the scope and which scope is that ? Plus look at the calibers available I will pass

Exactly! Good point Dr Mike Frank, it is an excellent event and cause and we are still trying to get there

Both ----12 for geese, ducks, cranes and 20 for pheasant, quail, partridge, chukar, etc she got the Syren in the 20 double and the Franchi semi in 12, I just throw the Benelli 12 gauge auto in because I like it--somebody will use it. Considered 28 instead of 20, but Hodgeman made a good point...

Mark, actually several different locations. It was kind of fun for me, as I just rode around via a train, which is fairly popular in Europe. Some of these companies are very close to each other, plus ranges, hunting chalets/clubs, a couple of stores. Although one can certainly get a good idea...

We dont have many here who respond to shotgun threads and/or have females in their lives who use them--but--I just did a very "hands on" research of several For a Female o/u--Syren semi- auto Franchi Affinity ( only reason I like it better than a Syren-- Franchi is inertia) These would be...

Guy, your post in some parts of the world would be akin to "the rambling of a mad man" and it gets worse being female. "How can you kill something when you were made to bring life into the world, not take it" I have been spit on, had my family threatened "we are going to kill your family and...

gbflyer well hell, I tried. I know, the old saying any old steer "can try" anyway, a woman who is also a widow whose husband was left handed had several rifles built and sure enough a zastava was used. I had hoped she would just give it to me but her son did not want to let it go. If...

that makes sense. I also looked at the Granite mtn once--nice actions, ridiculous price--I passed It is so nice that you have the knowledge and ability to do it, Enjoy the built and the finished rifle .

GBflyer and Rodger, thanks guys Rodger, you are correct and I never took a Weatherby to Africa or Alaska. Gbflyer--My husband took a 458 lott with a pre 64 model 70 action to Kodiak. I took a "lowly" 375 H & H with a mauser action. Guys, seriously, much is made out of the push vs crf and...

Good information for those who feel they need something more than a 300 H & H in a mid-caliber rifle and/or believing a push feed works as well as a CRF. I have hunted animals on 5 continents with a 300 H & H and I am assuming that over the years these animals have grown harder to hunt and have...

walking horseman I appreciate your thoughts thank you. You certainly have a nice stable of shotguns, congratulations

speak now if anyone has anymore thoughts as I am headed toward, "recording" the Syren 20gauge double and placing an order for the Benelli 12 gauge semi-auto I want to thank everyone who responded, it is appreciated, as everyone who responded offered food for thought and it was appreciated...

Excellent philosophy Dr Mike lol love it! Has anyone here used the Franchi's Affinity Catalyst ( semi auto designed for females ) ? Does anyone one here want to comment on Inertia vs gas in the semi's ? Assuming anyone can log on to the forum --

Mike, I had actually placed an order for a Syren for her after she was here and hunted with one and then put a hold on the order, as I felt I reacted to quickly to her reaction to using one when she was here ( In Spain ). She loved that shotgun which was the 20 gauge double. But then I started...

Mark, that is a very nice shotgun--your boys are very fortunate --those are sweet shotguns David, congratulations, that is also a nice shotgun. The picture is very nice as I am sure, is the shotgun. Cloverleaf--thank you sir Hodgeman and Gil--nailed it I believe. ( get a semi auto 12 and a...

Thank you for the replies, some good suggestions When she was in Spain earlier and went Ptarmigan hunting she used a ladies Syren, which now make a shotgun, specifically for women, as that one was. She liked it and so I am also considering that one also. Do any of you have one for a lady in...

She likes to both waterfowl and upland hunt. To date she has hunted Geese, Ducks, Cranes, pheasant, quail, grouse, ptarmigan and chukar. She enjoyed hunting waterfowl but says her favorite is pheasant and ptarmigan ( she also said she will never hunt chukar again lol ) I am thinking either...

Gil. I am sorry about the employment situation and that you did not make your trip to Africa Are you and Susan still able to compete in the archery contests ? How is she feeling btw ? ( after her injury ) If you dont want to hunt any dangerous game animals or even the largest of the plains...

My dreams are tailored more toward looking like I once did in that picture Earle posted or even being back at that clothes option beach in Greece with Fotis ( who remembers the picture Fotis posted ?)--but I can not remember ever once dreaming a bout a Mule deer lol
