How far of shots for the Tom and old Wiley?

How far of shots for the Tom and old Wiley?

The gobbler popped up at 23 yards on a narrow ridge I was set up on, heard him in the leaves and was able to line up on him. That gun is not tightly choked and is about a 33-34 yd gun, so you need to pick your setup spots.

The coyote came in on my off shoulder to 28 yds before I could get the gun shifted over on him

Nice, old Wiley got close.

Thanks to Shannon for this new site.

I was out in the early AM with a 1925 LC Smith Long Range. Kent 5-Star 5X5 in one barrel; Heavy Shot # 4s in the other.
This Elsie has a tougher than standard buttstock -with an original Jostam "No Kick Coming" period pad.
Great fun just  carrying it in the deep swamp edges. It is a proven gobbler slayer.

SWEET

Great topic on this forum really looking forward to it. I'd like to see some old Belgium Brownings

This is dedicated to the shotguns that were manufactured before most of us were born ...I would say 50 y/o guidelines.....old doubles etc...

Does a BSS count as "vintage"?

What Is Vintage? Vintage items are much younger than antiques. These pieces are typically defined as being at least 20 years old but less than 100 years old. The term "true vintage" is a sub-category for items that are at least 50 years old.

The above ain't from Merriam Webster, but................

The BSS was manufactured from 1971 until 1987, so.........  Could very well be "vintage".  And if it isn't.....it's very close.

That aside, the Browning BSS is one COOL, and QUALITY gun !!!!!   Great pic, Bill !!!!

Thanks guys. If it's technically "vintage" or not, I don't know but I've always thought of the BSS as a modern gun as opposed to LC's, Foxes, Parkers, et al. Certainly, though, most any sxs fits the "traditional" category.

Those mfg. dates are interesting, Don, I had not realized they were made that late into the 1980's.
