..again this Spring. "What are you using to chase long beards?" "My reliable, awesome Franchi Affinity 12 ga with the 18 inch super duper 300 yard turkey choke."

Silence.

Then a torrent of taunting and tirade for not using one of my doubles.

Shamed out of plastic and camo, I will be venturing far outside my Spring comfort zone, relying on French walnut and steel to bring home the bacon, err, turkey and dressing. There is hopefully enough choke in the factory tubes of my 314 (.047 left, .028 right) to put me at ease and a bird in the bag, but it is a exercise of faith- certainly less stressful than another dressing (pun intended) down from my friend up north.

Tally ho!

Mike

I'm so pleased you've seen the light, Mike. In for a penny, in for a pound.

The word 'mocked' is a overly harsh term here, I would say James gave you some much needed advice in a rather sarcastic manner.

But instead of typing all of that you could substitute the word 'mocked.' OK, I see your point.

Gauge?

Mike will be using a 16 gauge MF Ideal.

Good job, James, he needed that.

I try Steve, but he doesn't give me much to work with. LOL
