Thread: secondhand shotguns

i only had one shotgun for many years and happy with it.then i began to look for the "perfect gun". by the time i realised the money would have been better spent at a gun club or paying for tuition, it was too late, i was hooked on shotguns, the design. how they worked,the history and the artistry of the select. on the subject of shotguns today, a lot of it is in marketing,the latest and greatest.yes i know this will not put more game in the bag,anymore than shooting with 42gram loads will bring in more birds. we are all seduced by images, and the one i would like to remind hunters out there, are the qualities of a fine double,yes you can obtain one of these beauties for as little as two or three hundred dollars, rework the stock,refinish if necessary,fit a good pad,have the chokes opened etc. and you have a gun that you've invested a little of your soul in,and if you don't bring a bird down in those two shots,well then it deserves the right to fly to another horizon.you'll be a better hunter.
