I hunted Hungarian’s for a couple days last week with my brother in laws browning citori , for sentimental reasons , as he gifted me the gun when he died.
Yesterday I grabbed the instinct and it was so much nicer to not have all the weight

I took my GSP youngster out yesterday looking for some huns but just ended up with a long walk and no birds.

Not one of us with a legitimate opinion can tell you what to buy. Go handle every gun you can at three or four different places and buy the one you love. I’ve had good luck with some, terrible luck with others, but I use mine one way, other guys very differently. I love the Franchi and so does my daughter but only you can decide if you love them or not-

Gun fit is so very important when it comes to shotguns and especially field guns where quick handling is the order of the day. I had two Beretta 686’s that fit me for crap and it showed in my shooting. Changed guns and my scores went to the top.

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?
I am possibly going to book with him soon.

Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
