Me, too. Two to be exact.

I reject the notion that you have to be either into the experience, or after large numbers. I am into the experience, but hate missing. I guess I am a perfectionist when it comes to my shooting. I can laugh at a miss, when a dove "screws me into the ground", and tip my hat to him, literally. But, I will do everything in my power not to miss that shot when I am afforded it again. I like taking a limit, but I miss a lot, especially woodcock. Ask Gil S.

I consider any gun less than 100 years old to be too new to be trusted! And I make it a point to not own any gun younger than I am--76.

Stan, as you once said, it's not that woodcock are hard to hit; they're just easy to miss. wink And we'll have more opportunities. Gil

Two barrels, side by side preferred for hunting upland birds. Sometimes an over/under goes out for target shooting.
Not much of a fan of the jam'o matics spitting hulls at other shooters.
Probably old school, with the grey hair to prove it.

It all depends, in shotguns I'm definitely old school, my hunting guns are sxs, all with two triggers, also a couple o/u with two triggers. they shoot best for me, although I've owned more than a couple pumps and autos they never feel quite right, usually too long overall and cumbersome.

Rifles are another thing, and coyotes are my main target. I much prefer a good bolt action, with my favorite goto guns a Sako L-461 Fullstock 222 Rem. Vixen w/Weaver V-3, Custom Savage Model 10 in 22-204 w/Sightron 1.5-6x40mm and a Custom Rem 722 in 22-250 w/Bushnell 2.5-10x40mm. I do get a little oldschool when hunting coyotes in the thick stuff with Drilling in 16/16/6.5x58R wearing a Leupold 1-4x20mm and a Brno combo gun 22 Savage Highpower/12ga with another Leupold 1-4x20mm this is also my travel gun with a spare set of Tula choked skeet barrels and soon to have a set of 28" shotgun barrels.


After the first shot the rest are just noise.

Oskar;
While freely admitting your choice of rifles are of a modern design the bolt action itself can be considered "Old School".

"The Swiss Vetterli rifles combined the American Winchester Model 1866's tubular magazine with a regular bolt featuring for the first time two opposed rear locking lugs. This novel type of bolt was a major improvement over the simpler Dreyse and Chassepot bolt actions. The Vetterli was also the first repeating bolt-action rifle to feature a self-cocking action and a small caliber bore".

The Vetterli dated back to the 1860's while the Dreyse & Chassepot were older still.
