54 smoothbore
« on: December 17, 2022, 07:32:46 AM »
Haven't posted in ages. 54 smoothbore. Was looking for a bunny rabbit but ended up
taking home a nice partridge. 60gr of FFFG and equal volume of #6 shot.
John Bergmann gunn with 38" Rice Barrel.  This is a very light gun.

Beautiful. Deadly too

Nicely done, Pat.  Ruffies are the best tasting of all grouse.

Pat, you did well on your rabbit hunt as the feathered bunnies make tough targets.  That gun of yours is elegant and gorgeous.
