Then a Charles Daly Auto.......Then a Biakel O/U..........these became my M-1 Benelli. Great gun and use alot for hunting
Then a Franchi Alcione 12 ga.......this is my go to gun.........any upland or clays.......trap.skeet, and sporting clays
. Will be adding a 20ga barrel set really soon.
Then a 20ga Nova in HD camo...haven' t found a real purpose for this one yet. Maybe turkey with Hevi-Shot, but I have never done this.
Then a 12ga Nova that I one at a banquet.........traded private for a Belgian A5......Turned that for my S&W .357.

BTW, The one' s that I won' t have are the Browning BPS' s. Just something I don' t like. Beretta' s are a close second. Very few Citori' s that I can shoot either.
Wish list, Long and Distinguished.
The short list is the Red Label Ruger, the SBE Just because I don' t have a 3 1/2 inch shotgun, A Model 37 feather, b/c My grandfather had one, and a double .410 b/c I think they would be cool
