28 Gauge Recommendations

I enjoyed the 28ga discussion. I love side by side shotguns. My preferred quail/dove/clays gun is a Westley Richards 28 shooting 3/4 ounce hand loads.
for pheasant or a change of pace I shoot a WR 12 bore droplock with 1 oz loads. I also have a Scottish 12 bore made by Mortimer and sons. My American doubles, 12 ga Parker VH, 16 ga LC Smith field and 20 ga Ithaca don’t get shot very much any more.
If you are interested in SxS shotguns, I invite you to the “Southern side by side championship and exhibition” that takes place in Sanford NC the last weekend in April ( hopefully! It was cancelled last year due to COVID). There are thousands of side by side guns for sale there every year from all over the US and world.

Hi Dr. Ray, I will be in Cooktown from Oct 16 to Oct 23 fishing Lizard Island Black Marlin Tournament.

I have several "slack" days after fishing before I head for stay in Sydney and Fiji.

Do you have any recommendations for 1 or 2 day hunt near Cooktown?

I've hunted both DG and PG in 4 different countries in Africa.
Thank you,
Bob

Good morning. I see that you had a Sauer 202 for sale for $3,000. Did you sell it at that price?
I have one for sale as well. I listed it (on here ) at $3,000 as well. Is the price high, low or right where it should be?

Thanks. Alex. [redacted] in case you want to call me to discuss further. I appreciate your time help and support.

Dave, I could use both of them if still available. I just picked up a new .22 mag and a .22 pump that they would be perfect on.
