My Black Friday purchase....

Well, it wasn’t actually on sale. And there weren’t any crowds in the store but I came home with a nice Bernardelli Hemingway 12g SxS. Little unconventional configuration:
-26”
-IC/M
-straight grip
-single trigger
- 6.2lbs on a postal scale.
Felt crazy sweet and will make a nice pheasant gun. I hesitated on the same gun a couple years ago and it sold. I just couldn’t put this one down :)

Sorry...I see it’s a 12. That’s a nice weight for carrying.

Congrats on the purchase terrym, sounds like a great pheasant gun. But at 6.2lbs it would even carry well in the grouse woods loaded with 1 oz loads. Enjoy.

It really is a sweet carry. 3 shots this morning and 2 birds. I think it’s a keeper.

Thanks. Yeah it’s likely going to be primarily a pheasant gun but it’s definitely light enough for an all day grouse hunt. 25.5” barrels IC/M.

Lots of details missing. Auto tang safety? Single selective trigger? Extractors or ejectors? Matted or vented rib? I can imagine that one on a little 28 or 20 ga frame.

Single Non selective trigger. Ejectors ( I actually prefer extractors though) Matt concave non vented rib, manual tang safety. I have never seen a 20g Hemingway. You do see the odd Roma but they are as common as an honest Politician.

You must bring it to the club sometime for clays. In the case. And wear your shooting tie ;)

Thanks. The Britt is doing OK. He’s semi retired now but I still hunt him occasionally. He’s good for 45-60 minutes, anything more and he lames up a bit at night. I also just hunt him alone because he gets competitive with Setter and will push too hard. He usually has no troubles finding birds though.
