I thought I'd share a quick update on the Dickinson. I have used it for skeet and quail thus far (maybe I'll use it dove before the season goes out) and I couldn't be happier with it. It turns out to be deadlier than I thought it would. Got a 22 with it at skeet on Saturday which is good for me with any gun!
If anyone is considering one, I'd strongly recommend them. For the money they simply can not be beat.
Here a copy of my post from the "Game & Gun" thread where I wrote about my quail hunt with it yesterday.
Another glorious morning well spent in the longleaf pine and wiregrass of Southwest Georgia. But hunting wild birds was bit slow this morn. 3 pairs of hunters spread across the property for a half day hunt. 2 of the groups found 1 covey each and 1 group found 4 coveys. We found one nice covey and had some decent dog work. I thought the conditions would have provided more birds but I guess that's hunting. We ended the morning at the old farmhouse for sandwiches and relaxation.
I used my Dickinson Plantation Grade .410 and was very pleased. I think its going to become my go-to quail gun.
