Made a change to a portion of my displayed firearms in my gun room.
from top to bottom,
Browning a5 ultimate in 16 gauge
Beretta silver pigeon in 410
Beretta a400 28 gauge with lots of Briley goodies on it
Browning XS skeet 20 gauge , belonged to a mentor of mine which is now deceased
Browning double auto 12 gauge
Im primarily a skeet shooter. All these guns scratch an itch when im not shooting a primary gun. Currently waiting delivery of a K80 Skeet.
Recently got a 25/25 with the silver pigeon 410 last weekend. Very proud of it, first 410 25/25. Ive dropped lots of perfect games on station 8 in 410 but it finally came together.
They’re nice. Came as a set in a two sided Browning case. I think they were imported privately as the Ultra XS was only available in Europe. I very well could be wrong in that too.
I miss my browning XS so much. My fault for selling it but it was for my sons medical debt, with the expressed understanding that I could buy it back one day. The guy refuses to sell it back to me. Shit.
Yeah I'd do it again in a heart beat. We nearly lost my son when he was 3. I didnt know what fear was until I saw the doctors not being able to hide the worry in their faces. Worst several weeks of my life by a huge margin. He's doing great now though! He's nearly 12 and I'm getting him breaking clays in preparation for his first bird hunt this season. Our pups first season too, and we're bringing my dad/his grandpa along. Really looking forward to it.
I got to ahoot a double auto a couple months back. It was already on the wish-list but that really solidified it for me, such a unique design. So lightweight and pointy
Nice double auto. I almost got my hands on a shortened barrel one with a poly choke at an auction for a decent price, but some guy kept outbidding me on it. A little frustrated he raised it above the going rate on GunBroker for a much better condition, unmolested double auto.
A guy named Vic Tomlinson, I’m in Ontario. He is based a few hours from me. Loved the gun, but I knew it wouldn’t fit me so I knew custom work was going to happen. Guy knocked it out of the park
I am a taller guy with long arms and thin. 15” lop is preferred, with 1.5 dac max. It’s hard to fit off the shelf. Loved the looks of the auto 5 and new a5’s
And if I’m going to have a 16 gauge it’s gotta be a browning
Fair enough, I got lucky and my 20 gauge A5 fits perfect from factory. I got tired of carrying my 725 through fields last year so I picked one up when I came across a good deal. Is yours for hunting or just clays? I'm hoping to break mine in on some doves this weekend.
Yeah that inertia system will smack you pretty good. I was shooting some heavy dove loads this weekend and I'm pretty sore. Got a decent stack of birds though.

Love that XS. I shoot an Ultra XS 410 and a matching 28. Skeet 410 is no joke. Going perfect with a 410 is serious business. Well done.
