No doubt the 12 is a sweet gun, but the Ithaca Model 37 (especially in 16 gauge) rivals the Winchester in elegance. But then, that was my Grandmother's gun and now it's my daughter's so I'm biased.
I own alot of shotguns; new and old; pump, auto and single shot. But my favorites are the doubles especially early Remingtons, Parkers and Foxes. The one I reach for most though, usually without thinking about it, is my Beretta Silverhawk.
Do you guys have this problem? I've wingshot with a double all my life and when I hunt or bust clays with a single I have a tendency to let my line of sight fall down the side of the barrel and have to get back into the rythm of shooting a single stick again.

This thread inspired me to dig out my shotgun. My father left me one of his few possessions when he passed last year, a Remington 1100 LW 20 guage. Nothing fancy, but it seems like a nice gun. I was hoping to get back into hunting this year but it's been a crazy year. Maybe next year.
Anyone know anything about the 1100 LW?

Sure, Chuck: The 1100 is another fine American workingman's gun. The one I remember seeing had a vent rib. Yours would be perfect for dove and quail. C'mon over.
JH, as tto the road the Piccacho club is on, don't remeber the name. But when you come south from the road(87?) to the prison and Eloy on the frontage road, there is a bar on the east side of the freeway, where the road heading west is, which you follow past the jail to the end, maybe 4-5 miles. We would always make a point to go and practice after limiting out on ducks at the Piccacho resevoir, really nice course and great owners. If any of you are ever interested, let me know and I will come up with much better directions.

The only thing better than a Winchester Model 12 is one with a legacy! I have the EXACT same Winchester Model 12 and it was also passed down from my great grandfather. Shoots like a dream, works every time, and with the legacy it has I treasure it every time I pull it out.
For those that might be interested in the Piccacho Sporting club, I broke out a map to give better directions. Take the Piccacho Hwy, south past the Az State Prison, until you come to Baumgatner road, which I believe just past lies a cattle guard where you drive through an open fence. Just a little further south, you will see the club, as it really is the only thing out there.

It would be too much fun to shoot trap in Florence.
And there's always the chance of a passing double on escaped prisoners.
