(I'm Hijacking this thread from SaxonPig. His thread was about (Collector Grade) revolvers, this one is about (Collector Grade) shotguns...)
This last Christmas my son gave me a NIB Winchester Model 12. He and I gave it a quick field stripping and oiling and headed to the range the next day. First stop was 16yd line, where I got 48 out of 50 (both misses were straight away at station #3). Stop #2 was the 22yd line where I got 47 out of 50. By then, my left arm & shoulder were really starting to ache (I shoot right handed),so I never got to shoot the Skeet range, but I did pull for my son, and he got 49(straight) out of 50 with the Model 12...
I know in my head there are better pump shotguns, and better shotguns, but in my heart the Model 12 will always be #1...
