http://www.jesseshunting.com/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smiley-faces-toast-beers.gif Nice piece Loco, I almost got one of those myself when they first came out back in the early 80&#39;s.
I was in the market for a new piece, at the time, of the first Raahauge&#39;s shooting fair. I spent several dollars shooting that gun in 20ga. Sweet, just like you said.
I really like the straight grip(English stock). Is your gun a 12 bore? What&#39;s the weight? If I remember right, should be around 7.5#! Maybe a little less? You&#39;re gonna really like this gun, should be a fine upland auto!
I have a 12 bore and a LT-20 1100, but I don&#39;t shoot them much anymore! Back in &#39;85, I bought a Citori O/U in 20ga. 26", english straight stock, the only thing is I wish it would have come with 3" chambers, but I&#39;ve been doing just fine with the std. 2&3/4", I&#39;ve bagged pheasants by the bushell, quail, chukars, dove and sage grouse with no sweat! This gun weighs in under 7#&#39;s.
The overall length of your gun should be about 43-45"? That&#39;s part of what makes the upland special, special and sweet, as you say!
Happy shootin, you made a good choice! http://www.jesseshunting.com/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smiley-shootin-green.gif

It&#39;s a 12ga, circa 1983...Target barrel - I haven&#39;t weighed it, but it&#39;s light.

I&#39;ve always wanted a "11 hunnert", and when I first saw the "special" with the straight stock a couple of years ago on the computer, I really got the itch. I couldn&#39;t believe it when I saw it at a local shop on the consignment rack.

http://www.jesseshunting.com/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smiley-faces-toast-beers.gif consignment rack! must of got a good deal on it then, thats great. Lotta folks don&#39;t like the straight stock. Target barrel? Does that mean it didn&#39;t come rem-chok&#39;d? If not, I&#39;d recommend, getting a rem-choke barrel. They can be tubed by a gunsmith, I did that with an extra barrel for my LT20, it now has Briley tubes, cost the same as buying a factory one, I just did an impulse thing at the time!
In the picture your gun looks new, you found a good one, many moons of gunning with that thing, fine gun!

It has the rem-choke..Remington sez "target" contour = max loads of 3 1/4 dram and 1 1/4 oz. shot....

Not for ducks or geese, but plenty for upland. I can&#39;t wait to do some clays with it.
