Good job Mark!! BTW, feel free to post a complete picture of that beautiful 16 hammer gun!!! Sure thing, thanks! At 6lbs even, it's my main chukar gun, and it shoots as good as it looks. Fixed ic right barrel, Briley's in the left. I don't like the grain pattern in the stock, and will be re-doing that soon. Here is a full view, next to my 6.4 lb 30" Lefever GE 12.   Here's what it looked like when I got it, before I did the straight grip conversion, etc.

Thanks Mark. Two beautiful pieces. Did you do the refinish yourself? If so, excellent job.

Well, I did not make it out today. Stuck inside all day with a pinched nerve in my back that made walking quite difficult. I will have to live vicariously through all of you who post your tales of the hunt today!!

Mark, your work is beyond belief! Those guns (especially the Husky) are fantastic!
I sure wish I had some more that you could do for me (like in the past). But, don't have anything right now.
My hat is off to you, what an artist.
Best,

Oh, and Stan even though I did not take the bet, we'd like to see a picture of your opening day limit with the gun and oh maybe any expended shells you might have saved; all of'em...Geo No need for pics on this report, Geo. Nothing to have need to lie about.  Killed a limit, plus one Eurasian ringneck. Shot 50 %, 15 x 30, with the Dickinson .410. Not the kind of shooting I could brag about. In all fairness tho', the birds flew amazingly fast and sporty, for opening day doves. You shoulda' bet me. I'm sure you'da "took my money". A few pics are over on the hunting pic thread. SRH

Was one short of field limit 12. Got 11 birds with 11 shells. The misses accounted for many more shells. Gil

JR Sorry y'all didn't get much shooting, but glad you got to spend the day together at such a nice place. What I'd give for some thunderstorms right about now.............. SRH

I actually got my limit. As Stan said the doves here were pretty sporty.
