Best, Ted Says the knucklehead that guarantied that we would be paying for $400/barrel oil this summer. Ted, maybe you should take a Happy Pill of some sort - maybe a whole bottle of them. Between you and mc and The Fuse, it's hard to say which is more derisive.

A prediction I got wrong, as opposed to the many facts you get wrong. I was pretty close on the price of bacon, by the way.
Spell check is your friend Professor goofy.
You think pills fix all problems, Prof?
Best, Ted

It sure is nice to carry all day after bobwhites. I bought some 2 5/8" Subsound B&P 1 1/8 oz. loads before they quit making them and surprisingly, they are not heavy recoiling at all. I just came back from the Texas panhandle after quail and that old Purdey was a pleasure to use as we walked 6-7 miles/ day in that thick brush and shin oak country. Whoever ordered it knew what they wanted. Apparently, Purdey mfg. quite a few of these lightweight 12's in the 1920-1940 era according to Dallas' book.

I like my lightweight 12s but they are fat in my hands. Smaller gauges are slimmer and some are much lighter.

Different horses for different courses as the old saying goes. I am grateful to have been blessed by having a place to go that requires lots of walking when I bird hunt. A heavier gun becomes quite noticeable at the end of a long trail (or a long day). A lighter, faster gun in those circumstances is a valuable tool to posess. I now have several variants (12s, 16s, & 28s) to compare and contrast (yet another blessing!). As with so-many things in life, there is no one-answer, and it is "fun" for me to contemplate all those variables. Even more fun now that I can share this activity with my son.

Battle, got my Dickson about three years ago. It's a beautiful gun but difficult for me to shoot. It's a 1943 gun with 28" barrels. It's lists in Donald Dallas's book
