Mike is is from 1926, 28, 6lbs 12oz, Mod/XF, file cut rib. Just a joy to carry in the field. The birds were shot with 12ga RST 1 1/16 #4s, 2 1/2. I really became a fan on #4s on this trip, having switched from the #5s utilized each of the past two seasons.

Hey all, well Friday at noon was our deer gun opener. We hunt on a friends farm for the past 8 years or so. Weather wise it was a very nice day, lower winds and temps in the upper 30's with sun and some clouds. We saw quite a few deer, but opportunities for some good shots were limited. I did manage to bag a smaller one (they always look like a majestic Elk in the scope) at 3:30. While the deer was small, I was happy with the shot I made. It was a running shot at about 100+ yards. So I was happy with that. My son Jim didn't fair well, had a couple shots, but didn't connect. Saturday was a different story, light rain all day long. Got wet and Jim couldn't buy a shot. I could have shot a least a couple more. They were getting up by me on my side of the tree rows. So.....we'll try and fill Jim's tag next weekend. Fingers crossed for him. Anyway, here's a couple pics of the weekend. Me and mine. I was using a 7mm-08 Remington Mountain Rifle with a 2x5 Redfield Wide View Scope  Myself and Jim  Best, Greg

How do you get pictures to actually load and be seen? I can only post the link and no pictures are on my post.
thanks for your help.

The last photo with the protruding lever is great! The gold inlay is very Germanic.
