One of my best friends through high school and on up came over Saturday.
We live about 15 minutes apart and haven't done anything together in probably 3 years or more.
Pretty shameful but anyway...

He brought over his last 2 family additions to show me.
First was a 1962 sweet 16.
Probably 98%.
I had no idea how much those guns were selling for now. :shock:

Then he said see if you know what this is, and handed me a firearm that was in one of the thin gun sock things.

I felt of it and it weighed very VERY little.
I felt the end of the barrel and it had interchangeable chokes so I knew it was relatively new.
THIN forearm, very thin.
It was in a Browning sock. I said, well it ain't a Browning.
Felt around a little more and the safety was not a Browning either.
Hmmm, feels alot like a Benelli.
He laughed and said you got it. LOL

Benelli Legacy 28 gauge
I don't guess I have ever felt an action that smooth in my life.
Carbon Fiber vent rib, silver receiver, gold inlay.... shiver......... :super:

He said he bought it with every intention of shooting it.
Then he decided... nawwwww :D

Pretty sweet for sure.

Ah man.. I'd love either one .. no way i wouldn't be popping some caps in those two.. I did some tractor work for a guy once and when it came time to pay he started hum hawing.. finally asked if I would take a shotgun for payment.. came out with a 28 gauge 1100.. I grabbed it.. man I wore it out skeet shooting!!!

There are some mighty nice shotguns in 28 gauge - that's for sure! I'd lover to have a side by side someday just to mess around with. I love a light weight shotgun. I'd rather get kicked hard than carry extra weight.
