    this, and a model 42, and a God knows how old LC Smith SxS, and an OLD A-5.

    The "new" guns are 1100 LT-20 from 1981, and a M-1 from the mid-90's.

    My "new" rifle is on a 700 action from '73.

    Still hunt with a BSA 30.06 dad gave me from time to time. I wish the old SXS's and lever guns in my vault could tell storiies, I might never leave that room.
    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    A-5 Belgian 20 w/ gold trigger at doves. I'd be lost without it.

    I shot a pre-WWII A-5 "Light 12" at ducks for years. A gift from my grandfather. Light, my ass. Solid rib, 32 inch full choke. I still have it, but decided to stop shooting steel through it. Besides, at 40 yards with that barrel, the pattern is indistinguishable from a slug.

    The other gun I got from my grandfather is a Fox Sterlingworth 20 with single trigger, beavertail forearm, and automatic eject. I don't think I've shot a wild quail with any other gun.

    Have a solid rib light 12 that my grandfather brought back "from afar". This one is 28" mod. Peters 6's in that gun have halted the flights of more than one duck.

    I shoot 2. A stevens side by side 20 gauge for rabbits, doves, and sometimes ducks.

    I also shoot a custom 308 German mauser that my dad got from his dad when he was young.

    Until this year, I used a mossberg 500 pump that I've had since I was 12. Before that, I used a Ted Williams that had a poly choke.
