After a mere ten days for the state mandated "cooling off period" I finally picked up the new Franchi yesterday. And golly gee... just think of all those endangered clay pigeons who were spared by my having to take that time to cool off~! I'm thinkin' I'm going to enjoy it. But...! It did come in a hard case that's the most ghastly, hideous orange you can imagine. Won't be losing that one on a snow bank! I think them Clay Birds are Endangered species in Kalifornia . So by waiting 10 days it gives them time to reproduce lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share Posted April 6, 2017 Mebbe this weekend, I hope. But I gotta confess... for the sake of expedience, the picture I posted was a stock Internet photo. Here's mine ~ kinda looks similar. But the case is still that ghastly, hideous "International Orange." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Mosby Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Very nice Hardpan!! When I graduated from Palmdale High in 1969 I got a Bulova wristwatch. It died gloriously 7 months later during Basic Training at Ft. Ord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramblin Gambler Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 For style points, you need to bust clays with a muzzleloader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely another hunter will not mistake your gun and case for a rooster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
