I have only purchased 6 guns in my life. When I want a gun I handle all the prospects and if they don't feel good I don't buy. For years I had a dear friend that was a master stock fitter and restorer. He refitted the old masters like Parkers, smith, ithaca, etc. and done repairs. He built me one custom turkey gun from parts and everything was custom fit. I missed just as many turkeys with that gun as an off the shelf gun. Whoever said it mostly about how you execute the shot was right. I always felt funny carrying a gun turkey hunting that had a 13 line burl walnut stock on it, seemed way over class LOL. I would just pull a piece of panty hose over that shiny stock. I gave that gun to a youth who wanted to start hunting and told him to keep it until he could pass it along, but he could never sell it. That was 20 years ago and I saw him a while back and he told me he still had it.
