Being at work everyday is the best way to grow wealth?

The muscle car of my generation is a diesel HD pick up.

Oh well back to bass fishing I guess, yesterday was slow only one five pounder maybe one day we can catch em like them old boys.

I will dock my old ranger by a brand new boat and tell him he can’t catch em like me see how far that gets me.

If you could get fish to bite the way you get 3macs1 to bite when you toss out the bait you’d have your own tv fishing show in no time!

I do have to admit I ran my first 100 with one. Ran it with that Tournament Grade trying it out. A fellow club member had it for sale....long story short I took it out, ran my first 100 straight with it and yup, bought it, lol.
 
Maybe the A400 put Remington into bankruptcy?

Strange Should be lots of retirement people lined of up to buy them...

The 1100 was a good gun for it's time. and it will possibly out last some of the semi autos produced now, but not being able to handle a variety of loads from light 2-3/4" target loads to heavy 3" waterfowl loads doomed it. Whereas many of the current semi autos are quite reliable with a wide variety of loads, from 2-3/4" to 3 or 3-1/2".
 
I was out again today left the 1100 at home and kept it to the gti. I'm going to let the owner keep possession of the 1100. Skeet is over for the winter and there switching to trap and I think I'll just stick to the o/u thanks for the input guys, I feel as if you guys say there decent if I have the ability to repair on a regular basis!

Now that is a strange one for me. Like you when they came out dad bought three trap and three skeet
We had no issues like that. I am wondering if your barrel was drilled for field by mistake it was like 3 thousands in the difference but would do as you say
I still own two of these original skeets he bought and still shoot them
He also sent our X1's to the late Bob Baumgart in wisconsin through dad's gun shop for I know for trigger mods, tube plating and barrel pinning etc maybe he did something to the ports there since we never experienced it

At the time I owned the SX-1 skeet version a member of our club was Winchester rep and did a bit of demo shooting for them as well. He also shot a SX-1 skeet. I was squaded with him one day when mine was acting up. He told me to take it over to Epps and get them to make the gas port adjustment to it as Winchester had decided in their wisdom to make the gas port a slightly different size and as a result were experiencing some difficulties. I shot with Don Epps at the time and he confirmed what Wilf had said. Don stated his has acted up at first and he had slightly adjusted the gas port on both his and Wilf's. By that time I had little confidence in this gun. Don gave me all my money back on the gun in exchange for anything else I wanted. So I ended up with a 101 and never looked back. The Winchester rep. Don Epps and I were all shooting very early skeet versions of the SX, probably some of first to come into Ontario, so maybe the issue was just limited to early production models. My field SX which I still own and have never had one single malfunction from was one of the first SX-1's that Don Epps got in in 1974. The SX-1 in my opinion was one of best semi auto shotguns ever made at the time. They were light years better than an 1100, but since they were virtually all machined Winchester and the SX could just not compete price wise with Remington.

People lined up to buy the A400 could definitely cost Remington a lot of sales, but I don't see people lined up to buy the A400.

I bought one of those new also. Still have it and by far not a gun I grab out of the safe.The maxus or x3 will stay with me long after that is gone
Not a gun I would buy today to shoot trap with that is for sure
Cheers

At one point, I owned an A400, a SBE2, and an SX-3, and after using the shims to set up the A400 for me, the other two fit as purchased, I just wasn't shooting the A400 as well as the SX-3, so I kept the SX-3, and sold the other two. I really liked the A400, as it worked well with all loads, and recoil was very mild with heavy waterfowl loads, but for me , shooting the gun well is what matters most, and the SX-3 worked best for me.
 
Lock times are measured in milliseconds, the target is travelling 45 mph and the shot streams are going about 700 mph. It all happens pretty fast. Its a good way to explain a miss but in reality I doubt your brain even notices. I do notice the difference in lock times when shooting doubles between a semi and a O/U but it doesn't affect my shot.
