I just picked it up yesterday and would like to have your thoughts.

Personally i believe it is an absolutely stunning piece of art, and it operates well to.

I have the exact gun....except you have better lumber......I love mine you will love yours. I bought mine new. The actions was VERY stiff. It took about 500 sheels for the break action to feel right.

Shoot it up, tell us what you think.

Bless your heart. Someone finally published a photograph of a "real" shotgun. Your pictures are what comes to my mind whenever someone mentions the word shotgun. Those tactical things that keep appearing on other threads here are monstrosities as far as I am concerned.

By the way, where is the flashlight attached to on your gun?

I love the engine turned stuff...
And yes it is a high class shootin' iron you got.

Roy:

I am certainly with you about what constitutes a shotgun but we both need to remember who owns the website and what their bent is. Thus, it is not overly surprising about what is posted.
