The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

This arrived from Cabelas a few days ago. A Stevens 555 12 gauge O/U with 28" barrels and screw in chokes. I took it to a nearby gravel pit and shot half a box of some old No.2 shot and damn this little gun has some recoil. Well it is light at only 6lbs and that explains the kick.

Gonna try trap shooting with it this weekend if the weather stays nice and I'll let you know how I do with this new gun.

Nice gun, I hear the Turks make them pretty good. Look at that neatly stacked stove wood, why split so small? Small stove? I split four times that big, but then the shop stove is like a locomotive firebox, 25+ cord this year, I am tired of splitting wood, and don't plan anymore until next fall.

That's our wood for camping, don't need big chunks to cook weenies.

You can't say I didn't warn you.

Great field gun, though. (except for doves. That's a lot of shooting!)

Yes you did warn me but I shot four rounds of trap and the recoil was bearable but a lot worse than the 20 gauge I had been shooting.

My aim on the first round was not to good. I only hit 17 but then things picked up and I hit 21-22-22 which is pretty good.

This time of year they shoot Saturdays, Sundays and Wednesday evenings so I might go back tomorrow.

White men build a big fire and stand back away from it, but Indians build a little fire and get real close.

Like hell, when it's 10 outside I am hugging that stove.
