I bought the 500/450 from Thad Scott. Actually Bonanza and I bought it. I'm thinking about the 12 bore Whistler BP also. Seems dirt cheap and would be a fun hobby gun. I like the BP doubles, they add a level of "care and feeding" to the hobby. Also I really appreciate the looks of the hammers, very classic....to me at least.

I never thought I could get into this hobby, way out of my price range, until I researched it a bit more. I realized you don't need to buy a $35000+ double to own one. The ole' Kodiak is providing loads of fun...and its dirt cheap! However I'm stepping up into the English gotta' have relm with this one.
