Topper 12 Ga. 36" barrel
« on: August 06, 2006, 10:12:43 AM »
I saw a Topper 12 Ga. 3" chamber 36" full choke barrel at a shop last week. Price was less than 100.00.  Is this desireable??

If it was in good shape I'd pay that, but of course I'd try to talk him down a little.

I'd much rather be remembered for being a great shot than having the most expensive gun

My folks use to call that tube the "Long Tom", and ultimate of all Turkey guns...
I'd love to have one.

Actually,  this one is a Model O88
As it reads on the reciever. I sure hate the plastic trigger guard. Wish they made them in steel.
