Thanks to all of you for the feedback. Last dollar, I've got a couple of problems with taking my Lefevers duck hunting, which I've been doing for years. I used to hunt from a layout blind with an early C grade 10 gauge with Bernard Damascus barrels. I loved it and I bagged a lot of ducks with "Bernie". A year or so ago, I got to the point that I couldn't afford the no-tox 10 gauge ammo. The last 2 years I've shot G grade, 12 gauge Lefevers, but it's still a ridiculous amount of money per shot! The second issue is that I worry about damaging these great old guns in a salt water environment, where I'm basically lying on my back in a kayak in a salt water bay in the winter, eyeing the horizon, waiting for the birds in Lord knows what weather conditions - sun, clouds, wind, sleet, snow, ice, rain. If the CZ hammer gun is a decent, reliable gun, maybe I can enjoy the thrill of hunting the way our great grandfathers did without breaking the bank on ammo or worrying about wrecking a neat old Lefever.
