That should be a wonderful dove gun for you. I have been shooting a Silver Pigeon II Sporting 20 on doves for 14 years. It's been South of the equator chasing them twice, , put tens of K shells through it, and I cannot think of a way to improve upon it ................. except if it were a three gauge set. I hope it is as great a gun for you as mine has been for me.

I do have a Verona (F.A.I.R.) 28/.410 LX692 with 30" barrels that fills in when I want to shoot the really small gauge stuff. I will open the season this year with it, and the .410 set in place. I finally got it shooting flat enough for me, by adding a 1/4" rib to the top of the vent rib . I did this on both sets of barrels in lieu of having the stock bent. Many of the Italian O/Us, with the exception of Beretta, shoot way too high for me ............. they're just stocked too high. When I order my new Fabbri that won't be an issue.

He ain't kidding. He posted last year's season tally on another site (don't think it was here, but it could have been) and listed the guns and bag number of birds taken. Gil

You won't catch me doing that; just not fond of being laughed at by the better shots around here!...Geo

Years ago we took a photo of a fellow who had three doves in his bag. Around him were hundreds of empties. It seems every friend of his would drop off their empties on their way out of the field. So it looked like he had shot hundreds of shells for those three birds. Framed it and gave him a copy for Christmas. It was a funny photo.

Thanks Stan. I took it to my club and shot a couple rounds of 5 stand and a couple rounds of wobble trap and I think it's going to work just fine. Only has 28" barrels and I'd much rather have 30 but this is what they had.

I've only been to Argentina once and didn't take my own guns. I'm going back in 2018 and may take my own guns this time since I know a little bit more what I'm doing.
