Quote from: TJK68 on April 04, 2014, 04:01:36 PMI know this thread is a couple months old, but I wanted to comment because it kinda hit home with me. I lost my Dad on Feb. 16th this year, he never was a big hunter, but always found time to take me when I was a kid. He would carry an old single shot 12ga with him but probably would not have shot anything unless it was attacking him. LOL.. He just went because of me. The old gun is in great shape and for some reason I got to thinking about it last night and dug it out of the gun safe. The gun has a hammer, the word "Columbia" written in fancy letters on the side of it, serial number, and on top right in front of the breech it says "12 gauge choke", these are the only markings on it. The gun belonged to my Grandfather before my Dad and now to me. I went and bought some 2 3/4" #4's today because that was the only turkey loads I could find for it. It is very solid built and in great shape, with what little info I could gather on it, it is between 80 and 100 years old. I am going to pattern it and make sure to carry it a few days this season. I think it would be very special to take a big Ol'Tom with it.
