Re: First firing of project gun #1 50-90 Sharps 2.5"

BB,

Our shooters like them, mostly because maintenance, if needed, is right around the corner. I don't have any complains of my two Boitos, a SxS and an O/U. Mostly, it is viewed as an entry level shotgun that you will sell latter when you find a Beretta or any other Italian gun. But E. R. Amantino is trying hard to improve their products, and new Boitos are certainly way better than older ones.

When I first bought my SxS, the first idea was to use it for slugs only, so I added very simple rifle sights to it and the barrel was cut down to 24", which eliminated the chokes (it was IM/F). It is a beater, as some say, and I think it is a perfect gun for deer/boars.

Now if Boito is a good action for a Double Rifle is another thing . The one feature I don't like in it for this purpose is the lack of a third locking, like a Greener cross bolt. But, when you see the results of Colorado's project gun, I am forced to reconsider that. It is obvious that his gun passed proof and it will give him good service for years. Maybe I am being just a little bit too conservative. The price and ready availability of new actions is a big plus for Boito. Besides, nobody will tell you: "what have you done? this is a classic gun and you destroyed it!!"

I will try to get some pictures of my own Boito for you guys to see.

Fred
