This is a trick question - right?
If you need an excuse to buy another gun - I have plenty of excuses.
"Honey - some guy on the Internet said I have to buy another gun" .
I have taken Perazzi MX8 , Super X Model 1, Krieghoff, Citori's, 1100s, Beretta O/U and semis, etc. ...duck hunting. Then again though I do take care of stuff, it is only a tool. I only own Blue&Wood guns - I have hunted very little with syn stocks. Not as natural a sound when syn bumps into stuff out in the wilds.
Hard to beat a good pump gun. 870 Express with RIG, or Carnuba wax to protect , don't forget to seal end grains.
FWIW - the Perazzi I used in the midst of snow, and I found a bar ditch ( as usual).
The Krieghoff...I never got wet, in fact I was wearing LL Bean rubber soled boots, blue jeans, and took off my wax cotton jacket. I was at a "Gentelman's Hunt" Concrete from parking lot to blind, served breakfast, I chose a gun from rack, sat in a heated "gallery" ...sipping coffee while a Pro Duck caller - called. I actually stood up the first time to shoot ( couldn't see the dogs). I took the other 5 greenheads sitting down. Talk about a rough way to hunt.
I had to park my own vehicle, I had to walk back to my own vehicle...the nerve of it all...
At least they made up for it...served us lunch of Steak and Tail before we left.
