Re: shooting goose/duck on the coast...
Yea I noticed the same thing with my brothers sbe2 also. I clean my sx2 about once a month, probably after around 10 hunts and its pretty dirty especially if I shoot some trap loads aswell. After about 2 months last season, matts gun looked as if it had shot maybe a single box through it, they're good guns, been thinking about going with a m2 in the future.
1st Im in charge, and if not Matt is. Your job is to sign checks, tell us we're doing good and open your case of scotch after a good day. 2nd my fee. You can keep it, all I want in exchange for my service is the right to hunt all the drakes. A male. Buck only. Why and how are my business. If you don't like it, go alone. Set up right here or in a swamp or in the middle of a noshoot field for all I care. I've been on too many duck hunts with rich dentists to listen to any more suicidal ideas. Ok?
