If you do decide to do a bunch of practicing, maybe find a gun that fits, first. It will make the practice worthwhile, anyway.
My point wasn't "Stallones vs the Colonel". My point was, "guy with a gun that fits him, vs guy with a gun that doesn't fit him". Since it's my money, I'd have to go with what I know, since, I've never seen either guy shoot.
A guy with a gun that fits him, shoots better. You guys feel free to miss everything you want. My dog is old now, I like the birds anchored where they fell.
Easier for everybody.
Best,
Ted

All three of you show up at a shoot with that, or any other gun, with 3" of drop, I'd put my money on the Colonel, and his gun that doesn't have 3" of drop, actually shooting, rather than talking about it. Sorry Ted, I misunderstood you. I thought it was your opinion that the Colonel could outshoot anyone of the three of us if we were all shooting guns with 3" of drop and the colonel was shooting his regular gun because you believe 3" of drop is such a huge disadvantage. As only OWD, myself, and Stallones had posted in defense of the suitability of this gun's stock dimensions I assumed you were referring to the three of us. In such a case I would put my money on Stallones. Best, Mike
I am glad to be here.

I thought the difference between a standard and a featherweight was the featherweight has the barrel lug visible on the bottom of the action? I may be wrong. Looked at a 12ga at a recent show that had the lugs extending through the action and it was certainly "feather-like".

Interesting question, and I have to say I'm not sure. Maybe that was true at certain time. I don't know enough about them to know. But this 375 Diamond weighs 7lbs, 12oz, and it has a lump coming through the action: http://www.juliaauctions.com/auctions/view_lot_info.asp?lot=2207-331OWD

I do not think that it is a FW. I own this Lindner 12 bore FW and she weighs 5 pounds 9 onces.

A Daly featherweight is marked "Featherweight". A Daly that is lighter than the normal Daly is not neccesarily a featherweight. The 16 in the auction is pretty light, but I don't know if it is marked "Featherweight". Do the posters realize that we are not buying Lindner guns to kill birds deader? That is not quite our quest. We already have guns that kill birds deader.

The problem with those dimensions is not that SOME people can shoot them. Rather, it's that MOST people can't. That's because we don't shoot the same way a lot of American shooters did a century ago. (Note that a lot of Brit guns from the same era have pretty modern dimensions, so not everyone was shooting head up.) Just pointing out the problems MOST modern shooters would have with that gun. And since stocks do tend to break over the years, why not have this one restocked if the gun otherwise suits your fancy? It's not like a new stock will ruin the gun, and keep the old one in case you sell or trade it down the line. Then the new owner can go original or modified.

Raimey--
It sold over-estimate for $17,825 including Buyer's Premium. I do not know about the DRGM marking.
