Andy,

Welcome to the board. You are starting off right by asking questions. Keep asking them. It is much cheaper to ask and learn. Some of us were not as wise and found the learning curve steep and expensive.

While a "pair" might sound nice, it really has little advantage. They arose in a different era and culture. I doubt sincerely that when you are doing sporting clays, you will have a "gun loader" standing next to you waiting to hand you a "fresh" gun.

I happen to like hammer guns. I own several. No one would ever consider one of my guns a "best gun". If you must have an English gun, that is great. Be aware that you could also have a "best gun" that is Italian, German, French, Spanish, Belgian or American. There are even more guns out there that could be considered classic guns.
There are well known authors, engravers, gunsmiths, stockers, wood suppliers, dealers and others that are frequent users here. They will happily share their opinions and information with you to aide in your search.

Try 'Cigar' eau de toilette natural spray by Remy Latour. It's from Paris, of course. Every sportsman should have a bottle.

Dennis, is that a list one mails to Lewis Drake & Associates before purchasing 50K shotgun?
Welcome to the board Andy. Ole' Prof said: 'I tell beginners to get one decent gun-a good 12 gauge pump-and learn to shoot it.....Instead of buying fancy guns, use the money for ammunition and practice....'
His gun was second-hand Remi 31 which he fired 981,000+ times since 1933.

Jager:

Thanks as I forgot to add the smell of a good maduro, or pipe tobacco.

Kind Regards,

Raimey

Hi JoE,

This is part of Andy's first post:
