I notice that Will Primos is now shooting his turkeys on his TV show with a SxS 20 gauge. Can you folks fill me in on that shotgun he uses? What say you? Thanks...
A James Purdey? Expensive, to say the least.
Nope. I used 2 bolt guns in 7x57 and 30-06 fed Nosler Partitions.Gary, not to get off topic, but did you use a double in Africa?
Turns out that Will actually carries a Purdy 16 gauge hammer gun. Now, I wish I knew how his gun is choked and what ammo he uses...
Pure speculation?It depends very much on whether his is a legacy gun or one of the new hammer ejector guns that Purdey reintroduced in 2004 ("Purdy" is how one describes the guns, Purdey is how the maker spells their name ;-) If a legacy gun, the 16 ga was very often a grouse gun while the 12 was the preferred bore for driven pheasants. As such, a 16 ga grouse gun, 2 1/2" chambers proofed for 1 oz loads, was more likely to be choked somewhat more open - IC/LM/M, while 12 bores used on high birds would be tighter IM/F. If it is one of the post 2004 guns, it will be in whatever configuration he ordered, of course.
Pure speculation?
yes. very witty...Yes they are purdy,
Purdy damn expensive and Purdy damn likely to stay that way.
