This is a discussion on Weatherby SA08 within the Shotguns forums, part of the Long Gun Forum category; I like one power scopes. You can use one with both eyes open which lets you track moving objects easily....

Why do they put beads on shotguns if they are not needed . I have yet to see a SG without one . They even put mid beads on some SG . They come from the factory with gold , silver and ivory on every SG I've ever seen from $100 to $100,000 SG . I don't aim a SG I point it and the TruGlo is a big help to me to see the front of my barrel in low or bad light or against treed back ground . My buddy in Tn is big in duck and bird hunting and was a top winning sporting clays shooter turned me on to the TruGlo bead about 10 yrs ago .

NCG, I shot a 20 o/u in the woods for years. Since that accident (drunk driver head-on), I can't take the weight or recoil of that gun anymore. Got some extra parts and pieces and screws in my neck. That's why I went for the 28. Patterns like a 20 but is a lot lighter. 5 1/2 pounds is nice for a day in the woods. I didn't like the idea of a Turkish gun but I can't afford a Model 21. Turns out it is one of the best upland guns I have ever owned. BTW that Weatherby is about 5 1/2 pounds too. Some have said a very light load in a 20 (3/4 oz.) might kick less because the gun is 1 1/2 pounds heavier. Makes sense from a dynamics point of view but I have tried that and it seems the 28 has a little less recoil. Maybe that's just in my mind because I like the gun. And it is much easier to carry in the woods. |

Glad you found something that worked for you, Bob. Stock design also has a lot to do with felt recoil. For me, a shotgun with a straight gripped shotgun stock always seemed to bite me a touch more and, in general, I had a tougher time to get a straight grip gun to shoulder consistently than a pistol gripped gun. Funny thing about bird guns is how even the smallest thing can change the way they work for you. Yeah, who wouldn't love to have a Model 21? Discontinued side-by-side Japanese guns are now impossibly priced, too. Had a chance to pick up a nice Browning BSS and a nice SKB 20, back in the 90s and passed on both and now both cost twice the price. Now and then you can find an old Ithaca/SKB double, bit those have also gotten so darn pricey. Ithaca now makes a Model 37 in 28 gauge and it's ;ess than six pounds in weight. Been tempted more than once, but Bill and I just don't hunt, anymore, so I'm afraid it would just go to waste. Oh, well. |

I plan on putting one on my Ruger SR9c also. My Benjamin air pistol has one too. | |

I bet those tru-glo open sights work well for most of you on rifles and handguns especially. My problem is my eyes are so bad I need tri-focals and none of the three lenses allow me to see both sights and target. So I use lasers and optical sights almost exclusively. Scopes on hunting rifles, red dot and laser on tactical rifles, and lasers on my handguns. Bird hunting to me is like pointing a broom handle. If I am looking at the bird with both eyes like I should be, the barrel is all I point. The bead on the end would be just a blur even if I was looking for it. It's just the way I shoot with these old eyes and it seems to work.

Just noticed this gun was selected as American Rifleman's shotgun of the year. Somebody else likes it too.

Bob, was in the gun shop the other day and looked at one of the CZ side by sides. I was quite impressed. Not that I'm going to get back into bird hunting, but if I was, I'd probably be looking for a nice, light semi auto, though, like you.

So this is interesting. I had some custom fit work done by a gunsmith and the stock was easily recognized as modified. Weatherby announced a recall on the gun maybe 3 months ago so I sent mine in to be modified. Suspect they just installed a slightly shorter firing pin or something because they were having some double fire complaints. Mine never malfunctioned but I sent it in like a good boy. Well, they fixed it and returned it but it is the wrong gun. Belongs to a guy down in KS who wants it to go dove hunting in 2 weeks.I left them a message Fri so I'll see what they say Monday. Lucky I don't need it till grouse and woodcock open up in Mich so I have some time.

Ouch! Not a fun kind of surprise. Hope that guy down in Kansas has a backup gun. Ah, dove hunting. Lot of shooting for not much meat, but the meat is great. One of my favorite meals, back when I lived out on the prairie. |

Exactly the way we used to cook them. We do get doves though our area, up here, but they're gone in a couple of days and they never show up in great numbers. A forest bird, they are not.
