Dave. I already know what your wife thinks of the checkering on that one. Yep, that's why I made her promise me she would touch up the checkering and clean up the finish on the wood if I bought it. But, I couldn't talk myself into purchasing it in the end. Besides, I just spent my gun money on the Francotte 20 bore I just picked up, so I am tapped out for a while.

Yes, he does have some interesting guns. That Manufrance Robust has also been on my radar or more specifically my wife's. She has a 16 bore Robust she loves and was thinking about picking up another. In the end we found a 16 bore Arrieta locally that she purchased and loves it. Happy wife, happy life.

Wow, Dave. That is so awesome that your wife has the same interests in side by sides like you do! There is a sign in one of the gunshops I visit that says: "Your wife called and said you could buy all the guns you want." Good joke about most wives, I'm sure. But you're one lucky guy!! Good luck!!

Thanks, Jimmy. My wife became interested in shotguns as a byproduct of hunting. We bowhunted together when we were first married. We then decided we wanted a hunting dog. She really likes dogs and dog training, so she wanted her own gun so we could hunt together. She bought her first side by side 25 plus years ago. She has always liked woodworking, so she taught herself checkering and does some light refinishing of stocks. Its has worked out well for us.

Nice looking gun with price tag from about 15 years ago. Old lower grade 12ga SxSs now sell about as well as soured milk or moldy Kaiser rolls.

Nice Miroku, though I wonder how they installed the fluorescent green front site and if easily removable....
My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income.
