ordered me a high dollar shotgun

that guitar is something

 
  My youngest  grandson works/trades and deals in special wood.  I don't know if that is one of his creations or that of another member of
  the exotic wood workers/traders website..  Some of the ugliest looking wood on the exterior..sure has a beautiful interior.

Re: Outshooting high dollar guns.

  One of their locals got them all twisted awry, when he came and informally, outshot them all with his H&R shotgun...

    Be that as it may…go to the Grand American Trapshooting championships - 20 events over three days - and see how many shooters are using H&R shotguns. There is a difference.

  I only mentioned a rare case, and didn't  imply it as a standard..   Just as beautiful wood doesn't seem to make a top shooter either.

yup but you can slap a 1500 dollar stock on a 311 savage and its still a 311 and you will loose money selling it where bills Krieghoff is worth more every day. ive got a buddy thats a very talented stock maker. hes made stocks for people all around the world. he did two for me. one on an interarms 2506 barreled action and the other on a 700 06. both were done with AAA english walnut and were done in the 80s with a friend discount that was a hundred bucks over the 600 dollar blank. today those stocks would set you back a couple grand and truthfully if i sold them they MIGHT add 200 bucks to the value. there still just an interarms and a 700 rem. i couldnt get back what i paid in the 80s. at least not around here.

 Difference between a shooter, and a collector. Mid 70's, duck/goose gun I hunted was a model 870, before steel shot and then  I went with an Ithaca Mag 10. Beat a guy at the club trap shooting with that 870, I was consistently shooting 23's and 24's.(never shot a 25) He was using, at that time, an over and under whatever that cost a pretty good chunk of money at that time. Threw the gun back in the rack in the clubhouse and mumbled some swear words. First time I came to the conclusion, the guy pulling the trigger is the major factor. I'd rather have a gun that feels good, reliable, and I can shoot, than one that looks good.
