Ok, great story, and great pics, but we still haven't talked about the shotgun.
It's a Verona LX702. It was made by Rizzini F.A.I.R. It has been a very good gun for me. I know I have put it through hell. These are some pictures from before I put the wear on it. And one recent one from teal season turned dove hunt north of Texoma. That third picture BTW was not planned I was just framing the camera with the timer for a different picture and I liked what I saw when I got home.
I will still use it some this season, but a BSA classic SxS 20 that I bought for Snipe hunting I have decided to use for most of my hunting this season, including for Pheasant. Shooting it on Dove over the last month, I got spoiled by the light weight.
