Browning if you are listening.....we need a light 34 O/U.

I like shooting my XT32 for everything. One gun person but it would be nice to have a light 34 with a high impact. Perazzi makes them but i cant afford the Perazzi gun or $10,000 barrel.

 

What is the 34” barrel going to do that the 32” barrel doesn’t?

 

Sight plane. I would prefer a 35. I am far sighted. I have shot a friends 34 double P gun.

 

It’s a shotgun. You’re not supposed to be looking at the sight. You’re supposed to be focused on the target.

 

And you shoot a 26" barrel?

 

Cute reply!! No 30 inch barrel. It came that way

 

and you shoot handicap with that 30 inch barrel? Hows' that working out?

 

All you need is 33" for a single barrel & 30" for o/u--there was a Sporting Clays champ Anthony Mattarese who won a lot with a Beretta 391

 

It worked out well. I won quite a bit of money with that old rusty 30 inch barreled shotgun.

 

Shot trap for 50 years. Then after my wife died I just lost interest in it. So I pretty much sold everything. Haven’t shot in a few years now. I’m done

 

I tried a 34" Perazzi that was lighter than my 32" but couldn't get used to the swing.

 

ya know....ya might want to call browning and ask them to make one for you special order..........

 

just sold my 36" Hasting barrel for my 870 Trap --If you want a sight plane check out one of them out --Great sight plane but I never could catch up to the bird.

 

Did you ever attend the grand back in the 90's? there was a gentleman that shot from a wheelchair if I remember right that shot one with about a 50" barrel.

 

I remember him!! That was a few years ago

 

Well, then, I guess you'll just have to keep shooting your 32" XT.

You could get an extra-long rib made for your gun.

 

Bat Thompson was his name, I believe. I was always impressed watching him shoot, never put the gun to his shoulder, either.

 

I used see him there for years. brings back memories of the good ole days! I believe I heard he passed a while back.

 

Robert (Bat) Thomas of Greenville PA died in 2013. ....I was always fascinated reading about him shooting from a wheelchair with a looooong-barreled gun.
....I have seen the barrel described as being 44" for an o/u to a 50+" single.

 

You’re right, his last name was Thomas. He was quite impressive to watch shoot, he basically shot from the hip (the gun wasn’t on his shoulder) and the gun had a different report than any other shotgun on the line at Vandalia. I remember sitting behind a trap that he was shooting handicap on (I seem to remember he was a long yardage shooter but I could be wrong about that) and he shot a 23. Nice guy to talk to, also.
