[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 2883375, member: 92702"] I love mine too. I even took it duck hunting on a pretty day last year with the 12ga barrels. I was scared to death the dog would shake muddy water on it, but made it through the hunt without putting a scratch on it, or getting it dirty. Might take it again once or twice this year, but don't want to push my luck. Great duck gun BTW, but just too stressful to hunt with on a regular basis. I have taken my old F3 Supersport several times and still haven't put a scratch on it either, but it needs to be refinished, checkering and blueing is pretty worn and it has over a million rounds through it. Lost count of the times it has been rebuilt. That's the thing about high end O/U's, they last several lifetimes if you take care of them, and are the only choice if you want to shoot them nearly every day. They are actually a bargain if you want to shoot a lot.
