Had this on my bucket list to get. Today I picked one up on an estate auction. It is as close to new as one can get. It is a 10ga

This estate auction had 30 some firearms and all were in new condition. The old timer sure knew how to take care of them. I was also looking at a pair of Savage/ Stevens bolt actions , they sold for double what I payed for my 30-30. However they looked fresh out of the box.

Nice find and beautiful wood. . I had a 10 gauge Browning BPS that I had bought like 35 years ago for ducks and geese. I believe it had a 30 inch barrel with choke tubes, and that thing kicked like a horse. I have shot 766 grain rifled slugs out of it. I would shoot a few of these and it would rattle my cage, imagine the recoil a single shot 10 gauge can give.

My scale was acting up , but it show 10lbs. I don’t believe the recoil will be no worst than 300 magnum rifle that weighs around 9lbs. I may need to correct that statement after I fire a few rounds thru itI would shoot a few of these and it would rattle my cage, imagine the recoil a single shot 10 gauge can give.

The single shot reminded me of my old 12 gauge single shot with a hard plastic buttplate, it would leave purple welts, lol. It was light.My scale was acting up , but it show 10lbs.
