Hello fellow sportsman and women. This will be my first posting on the site ever. I'm excited to see what sort of argument I can drum up. A little backround, I grew up shooting a 870 with a fixed mod choke with either 7 1/2 or 6 shot for dove and quail. It was slow progress but eventually was able to knock down a few birds. It seems so common to me the story and shared thinking that a full choked gun with 6 shot is the only thing capable of bringing down one of those little 5 ounce birds. One gun store clerk even explained to me that using 4 shot was the only way that he could kill them. Well, my eyes opened after I enherited a book of my grandfathers written by jack o conor in 1965. After obtaining a little knowledge of shotgun chokes, patterns and densities I was eager to pattern my gun. Wow, 225 pellets in a fifteen inch circle at 20 yards. Possibly a great gun for turkey or geese but not quail. Last weekend was my first experience with a true quail gun. A skeet choked double throwing 460 #8 pellets across a 30 inch circle. I've never had such success on quail. I had three different doubles and took one just short of 40 yards. At 20 yards it almost seems hard to miss. I cleanly killed one bird flying at 2 o clock that i knew I had shot behind. A pattern this large is like fishing with dynomite. If I only would have been lucky enough to get a imp cylinder gun for christmas 11 years ago when I was 13. Anyways, I'm intrested in trying a cylinder choke with #9 shot (30+ inch pattern of 585 pellets at 20 yards). If anyone has played with this combo or if you just want to share what it is that works for you I would love to hear it. Thanks -Sam.

Nice meeting you Phil. These Pecans are really good!

Hi, just sent you a text. Thanks.

I'm in Tucson. Broadway and Harrison. Can also usually meet around the U of A.

This was my neighbors. It was basically new but somehow he smashed it up with his 5th wheel. All the plastic and the fuel tank are damaged. Far as I know it still runs but all the fuel leaked out so would need to bring a fuel supply if you want to test start it. It cranks over fine still with the electric start. It actually started the first time I tried it but died after a short period. Wen sells the tank for $35 if I remember correctly. They sell all the plastic too but someone handy could probably fix them to a degree. Considered keeping it for a backup but already have a few others. Really just wanted to save it from the landfill. Located in Tucson. Asking $50.

I bought this used along with a btx. Previous owner got some scratches on the objective, few light swirl marks and one scratch, see in photos. Assume it's something Swarovski can replace but you don't see it while looking through so maybe somebody will use it as is. Tried pricing accordingly but let me know if you know better then me. Outside looks great and nothing on the small lens. Comes with both caps, no box. $750 $720 shipped or $720 $690 local pickup in Tucson.

Price drop.

Both are in like new condition, not a mark anywhere and never registered. Located in Tucson. $2050. Now $2000 I have the 65mm and 115mm objectives if you want to try either with it.

Looking for a gun safe that is fire rated. Just need a standard sized one. Looking to spend less then $500. Let me know if you have one for sale. I'm in Tucson.

My Dad makes these unique pieces by hand out of deer antler as a retirement hobby. He gives them to my niece to sell as an opportunity to start earning her own money. She hasn't been able to sell one yet and hoping to reach someone willing to purchase one. The ones listed now are $20-$30 and she has many others available as well. https://www.ebay.com/itm/274955132939 https://www.ebay.com/itm/274939616958 https://www.ebay.com/itm/274959042047 https://www.ebay.com/itm/274939617073 https://www.ebay.com/itm/274922285821 Picture of some he's made for my wife and me.
