    Marine Grade 12 Gauge

    I'm a BIG remingon fan. I have extensive experience with the Mossberg 500 and honestly can't stand it. Benelli's are GREAT guns, well built and accurate, but awfully expensive. Oh, and being a semi-auto you don't get the emotional satisfaction of cycling it :lol: . Stainless has certainly...

    Thank you, it's GREAT to be here. Loved my time, proud to have served, wouldn't do it again for all the money in the world! That's an interesting point about the bridge. I picture the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel on radar.... LOL! A couple miles away, indeed! Mike

    psuedo-newbie CD SPECIFIC questions

    Quick intro: My name is Mike, I'm a C-Dory Owner wannabe. Well, make that "gonnabe". :wink: We had a CD-22 in the family, and a couple sailboats before that. I made the decision just before I retired from the Navy last year to buy a 25 but haven't done so yet. My goal is to have it before...
