Pleeease.....don't let my wife see this

JC, I shot one of those gigantic rabbits once. Someone flushed a perdiz on a dove shoot in Argentina and it flew into a small patch of brush and grass behind me. I walked in to flush the perdiz and the biggest rabbit I ever saw bounced out of the brush, so I shot on impulse. Bird boys were thrilled!

They're not native to SA are they?....Geo

Looks like a European Hare, they are larger than Snowshoe (Varing) Hare. Believe there are some states that have populations of these.

Hello Geo,

The large furry one is actually a hare (Lepus capensis) and the other a rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus),
both also introduced and considered serious pests.

Good eating under that fur,mam,I love Rabbit (& Hare) Pie

I've always believed that a Stevens 311 will do just about anything a Purdery SLE will do. We don't buy high end doubles because we need them because they do something lower end guns in general won't do. We buy then because we want them for the artistry and beauty in their construction.
As an aside The "Star" of this thread is as "adjustable" as any gun I've seen. Just add or subtract tape to get the "fit" you need.

Jim, I totally agree. One doesn't need a Roll Royce and could well do with a Lada.

Gotta agree with ol Ted Schefelbein this time! Electrical tape an' beechwood stocks sure do knock 'em dead!
Why spend yer money on some over-rated import? In fact, why even have two barrel? One seems to duz it!

Y'all just drop those subscriptions to DGJ an buy Swamp People guns!

I had a friend back in my teems that had the most "automatic" of these single shots I've ever seen. Every time he's pull the trigger the gun would then pop open and eject the spent shell. If he wasn't holding on or the tape had worn that held the forearm on it would them fall off as well. I used to give him quite a bit of "distance" when we were hunting.
