Picked up a new Verona

[omega58]

Well, I finally decided that my 28 gauge Verona 501 was on layaway long enough and went out to Jay's and picked it up. I just couldn't buy Gander out of all of the STS boxes they had at my 30% off last week and just look at them.

I took the 28 gauge after getting our corn in this weekend and shot a quick box on Sunday. . .what a sweet shooting gun it is, patterns nice with the IC/MOD and I hit the first 10 clays pulling my own. . .for me, that's good.

It is not only a nice addition to my 12 and 20 gauge 503s, but looks to quickly make it in the starting line-up this fall. It is built on a 28 gauge frame. . . by some measurements a .410 frame.

For the price I got this gun for, I would buy another right now. It has two small surface scratches on the stock. . .less than my other two with a few days in the woods. With the Savage Milano selling for over $1250.00 and being the same gun at 1/2 the price I am pretty happy. I have also made calls to the gunsmith in charge of handling all Veronas/I. Rizzini guns and am confident in the customer service.

Here are a couple pics. . .it got too dark out before I decided to take pics, so I went with inside pics. It has a gloss finish that I might change to oil like my others after this grouse season.

I got the 30% off too. Got a MEC 9000GN in 20 ga., 9 bags of chilled #8 @ $20 per bag, some other reloading supplies, a flat of STS shells, etc. Saved a TON. Too bad it's a one-time thing though, and couldn't apply it to firearms. Well, maybe that's a good thing according to my wife.

good idea on the reloading. . . .I pretty much used up my $500 limit. . .trolling motor and accessories added up.
