    Wowed by a 28 gauge.

    Blkram- A buddy of mine has a 1100 sporting 28 and that is a rabbit killing machine. I had a chance to get one at a gun show for a good price and did the classic thing and decide to go back and get it. Of course it was long gone. What is your favorite grouse load in that gun?

    Wowed by a 28 gauge.

    I love my 28. It's a Beretta 686 white onyx O/U. I use it for grouse, woodcock, rabbit and doves. My favorite load for birds is Winchester's super sport AA load. ¾oz of 7½ at 1300. I use Fiocchi golden pheasant #5 for bunnies and have killed pheasants as well. It's a pretty light gun, great...

    End of seasons... What now?

    Here in Michigan we usually have snow and I chase bunnies with my 28ga but there is no snow. So it will be skeet and sporting clays

    Pheasants in the flat land (almost)

    What size shot do you use on those roosters? I've had good luck with high brass 5s or 6s.

    Picked up the .375 H&H

    Ive got a Zeiss Diavari on my Win 70 SS/Syn 375 and it works great. That rifle started out with a Leupy 2.5-8x36 but my BLR needed a scope so thats how it ended up. I dont think you can go wrong either way.

    Grouse opener

    Took a couple days off to go up north and hunt with my dad for our grouse opener on the 15th. Temps were very warm, so we just hunted the mornings. Saw a few birds, got this one on the 16th. Lots of squirrels too. Was good to hunt with my dad and not be at work! Beretta 12 sxs 26"...

    BFR

    Yeah thats why I am only interested in the shorter cylinder calibers. The 45/70, 30/30, 500 s&w, 460 s&w, etc are just awkward to me. I like the 500jrh and would also consider 475 linebaugh although would have to special order the 475 to get a 5.5" barrel.

    BFR

    Anyone have any experience with BFR. I am considering ordering one. Looking for a good woods gun, hand cannon, make noise at the range. Am looking at 5.5" .500 jrh.

    20 gauge Recommendations

    Ive been shooting Beretta autos for years. Soft shooting gas guns and they just plain run. I have a 30" synthetic A390 that is going on 2500 rounds between proper cleanings. I dont usually abuse guns but now I am very curious to see how many rounds it will take to stop it.

    Shotgun Advice

    I am biased towards the Beretta line of semi autos. They are gas operated guns. Supposedly you are supposed to keep them clean but well... I have a 390 synthetic with a 30" barrel. I use it for everything. Ducks, geese, bunnies, sporting clays, skeet, and crows. I throw a saddle mount with...

    Gaudy new gun

    Truck Driver- Yes. Im not a fan of the fiber optic sight on a shotgun. I prefer a white bead. Simple fix.

    Gaudy new gun

    About 10 years ago I was into skeet and sporting clays pretty heavy. Shooting 400-500 shells a month. For a few reasons I had gotten out of it, busy at work, other hobbies, etc. I sold my target guns to fund rifles and pistols. I still hit the skeet field occasionally with my other guns but...

    Got to shoot my new pistol today

    Finally got a day off without monsoon rains or 60mph wind. Decided it was a good time to see what my TC Encore in .243 would do. Don't have components or dies yet so am shooting some factory stuff I ordered online. The first load is Federal gray box 100gr soft point. The other load I got...

    Contender shooters?

    Not a contender but I just picked up an Encore in 243. 15" barrel. I put a Bushnell Elite 2-6 on it.

    new toy on the way

    I just received part of my new summer/fall project today. Always wanted an Encore pistol so I ordered a stainless/syn frame and a stainless fluted 15" barrel in .243 win. I will eventually have several barrels. The reason I went with a .243 is that I have never owned anything in that bore...

    Ruger #1 lovers unite!

    I have never owned one but have shot friend's rifles and a few people at ranges have let me shoot them. I always thought they were classy rifles. I missed out on a chance to buy a SS/Laminate in .300 win mag and always regretted not getting that rifle.

    Almost a kaboom

    Finally had a Saturday off that wasnt freezing cold or crazy windy. Decided to head to the range to shoot my BLR in 308 and also my Ruger SBH Hunter in 45lc. I had a box and a half of some Double Tap .45lc 300 grain @ 1300 I wanted to blast since I have found a more accurate hunting load. I...
