Just got a Beretta AL390 Silver Mallard in 20 ga with some beautiful wood. Gonna be my wife's primary gun, but I just might sneak it out a couple of times to make sure it's running right for her...

Didn't get a new shotgun for dove season but I did get a new sling. The best part is one of my buddies made it and gave it to me. Guess I better take him on some dove hunts

Only dreaming right now but would love a little 28ga. in stackbarrel configuration just for doves and maybe some "casual" clays. I had the opportunity to shoot a mornings limit of dove a few years back with a friends 28 and could not believe how potent this little 3/4oz. load put the gray darts on the ground. Wanted one ever since.

I've spent too much on long guns and handguns this year. I'm cheaping out and going for a Rem. 870.

I recently picked up a brand new un-fired 1968 Belgium Browning A-5 Light 12. I got it plugged and ready. Headed to the skeet range tomorrow just to stretch her legs. I have "a few" A-5's, and I'll probably shed a tear with that first shot.

Haha yea I polished that thing for hours.

I's flawless, but I refuse to have a gun that I won't shoot, and I'm not giving it up, so it's gonna' see a skeet range and at least one opening day.
edited to add: I say that now....when the moment comes I could easily puss out. It is a beautiful piece of work.

Just bought a new 20 gauge Benelli Cordoba, haven't got to shoot it yet but it feels like an awesome gun.

I bought a TriStar Left Hand Viper G2 12 ga. built in Turkey. Spent $513 shipping and all. It shoots 3" and 2 3/4 shells. I followed the recommended break in and have yet to make the gun jam. It will cycle as fast as you can pull the trigger. Very satisfied. Here is a review and specs. http://www.guns.com/review/2013/10/09/tristar-viper-g2-shotgun/

Just picked up a Browning Sweet Sixteen that looks to be unfired It may replace my opening day gun since 1977.
