Thanks, gentlemen! It's nice to hear additional confirmation of the SX1's virtues. I think I'll add it to my long-term wish list and continue to look around. I've seen a couple out there still NIB in off-the-beaten-path shops, but they often seem to be priced to keep them there. I'll just...

I'm starting a search for a semi-auto, but I haven't had many opportunities to try various models out yet. I've shot some trap with my brother's Rem. 1100, and it shot fairly well for me. My eye keeps getting drawn back to the Winchester Super X-1, which has some major die-hard fans out there...

That is indeed a neat find, Larry. My Dad passed a year ago also, and it's been a difficult, but poignant, year in many respects. One of the things I've been grateful for is the fact that I "borrowed" Pop's old Sears 200 12 ga. a few months ago, and have been able to put it to use on the...

Very well put, Sir! Thanks for bringing a smile to my face at the end of this day. We all need more quality time with friends, with nature, and away from the noise and distractions. You are a very lucky man. :)

Chris - thanks very much for this. When I was 16, I could just about do this blindfolded since I stripped and cleaned my 60 almost every time I shot it (first gun + OCD??). After 20 years in my brother's closet / safe, I'm going to be getting my old 60 back this Christmas, and I'm looking...

And thanks for the welcome Dale, MM, and everyone. This forum is one of the friendliest places I know to spend some time.

I understand there are a couple of good sporting clays courses along the Front Range here. I'm saving those for when my brother comes out to visit over the holidays. And Dave, I was using 7/8 oz. Rem. Sport Loads. No particular shot caused any pain that I recall, but the cumulative effect...

I made my first trip to the trap field today. In fact, it was my first attempt at any type of clay shooting, and my first time shooting since I was a kid (over 20 years ago :eek:). I first have to say that if I hadn't spent the past few weeks lurking around here, it would have been far less...

Old School: Going to Sears and picking up a shiny new Model 200 (and maybe a new socket set) when you moved to the Farm and needed to deal with critters, 'cause Sears has darn near everything a person needs. New School: Sitting in the suburbs, spending days online researching exactly what...

Anapex -- Amen! (RIP Pop - 1/1/08) That one brought a smile to my face as I remembered an incident with my girls earlier today. :)
