Good question Longstud.

I know I have a few. Most of them are nice but not drop dead. Although I have one in the works that could possibly be a contender for Gun of the Year if done in time but I'm not holding my breath. I'm also hearing via the grapevine that a couple guys seem determined to win GOTY and are pulling out all the stops.

 

[Longstud]

The history in these guns is just amazing to me. To actually be able to see the difference in designs and the variety is incredible. I so look forward to view all these treasures. Can’t hardly wait.

Not yet , still looking for a 12 ga hammer gun

 

[CanuckCooper]

Would it be ok to join in with a SxS that’s not pre-WWII?

Check out my 1872 Westley Richards hammer gun on Equipment Exchange. One of the two finest hammer guns I’ve ever owned.

Of course. All SxS are interesting!

Absolutely. We’d love to have you join us and show us what you’ve got.

A recent Gun of the Year was an Italian make from either the 1970s or the 1980s.

 

[CanuckCooper]

Thanks Guys, looking forward to it! See you there in June 1.

I was thinking something like :

Asprey to AYA, Boss to Baikal, and Churchill to Churchill
All SxS’s Welcome !


And that Italian Gun of the Year is 1975

Nice memory....or did you just look in the safe? Hahaha. I'll add that it is a FAMARS hammergun!

It was a Baikal ij58 that took high score one year!

I've had it out a few times this winter ....
A friend of mine said "This Thing Shoots Like A House On Fire!"

Damn straight, I remember that.
You were nailing them before they crossed the centre of the field.
AND you happened to mention it was choked FULL/FULL!

Hey you earned your modesty there!

When your broke and want a sxs it's the Baikal for the win. I still have that old clunker. That was my main trap and skeet gun thru my 20s and early 30s.
Best part of shooting a recycled lada is if I have a bad day of shooting I can always blame the gun

 

[Baroc]

I'll be there too, and will bring a SxS.
Excited to see what the community will bring out, and meet some of you!

EDIT: Ultimately it won't work out. Was hoping to tag along with Pinfire, but perhaps next year!

We'll look forward to meeting you!

 

[VictoryXC]

Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend this year. We have sold our house and we're moving back to AB. I'll definitely miss meeting up with everyone. Looking forward to seeing some pictures!

Maybe we can get an AB event going in the near future.
