I was looking for a SXS waterfowl gun. I purchased this Watson Brothers from a dealer back east. It has two sets of barrels. First has 32" proofed for 3" and 1 5/8oz loads and the second are 28" proofed for 1 1/8oz. It's built like a double rifle with the trigger guard extending down the grip to the metal grip cap. It has unique fences and nice engraving. Stock had been broken and repaired previously which was disclosed and priced accordingly. I picked up a nice solid Turkish set for a song on eBay to be fit if the stock ever broke.
First trip out with my new gun it kills a Mallard over the decoys. Went to eject the shell and the stock comes apart. So off to the stocker it goes.
Got the gun back a couple weeks ago. Now it's happy again and not expecting to break at the wrist anytime soon. I'm really looking forward to next waterfowl and pheasant seasons so I can take the Watson Bros. out regularly.
