    Where have all the bolt action shotguns gone?

    My first gun, given to me by my brother when I was 13, is a Stevens Model 39A. A bolt action .410, with a tube magazine. We did a lot of rabbit hunting back then, and it got to the point that I could get a 2nd round off as fast as he did with his .410 pump. Like anything else, it just takes...

    Who is getting excited?!?

    Ah, yes...opening day. Last weekend in Oct. for pheasant here. About two weeks after I get back from a fishing trip to the Northwoods. Should be pretty interesting this year, with a new Lab to try out. :D
