I've only shot 1 over and under, and it handled better then my mossy 500.

Since we are on the subject of shotguns.
When I was 4 my uncle gave me my first gun, it was an old Kessler bolt action 20 gauge.
He had got it in a trade from a guy who had painted the entire gun PINK to match his duck blind. I called it the pink panther.
I could barely hold the gun up, and didn't have the strength to aim it.
I was given the whole talk about being responsible and how when I was ready he would teach me how to shoot.
A few months later I had been really bad and my mom phoned my uncle and he showed up a little while later.
I remember him apologizing to me on how it was his fault, that he thought I was ready for the responsibility that came with owning a gun.
He then left with the gun.
I probably would have rather been skinned alive then have that conversation.
My behaviour changed real fast, and I knew better then to ask for the gun back.
A few months later he arrived with it again, and why the gun was taken away was never discussed.
When I was 13 I refinished the gun, not a very good job but it was my first attempt and I did it myself.
It will never be refinished again, my uncle passed away in 1998, and that gun will never leave the family if I can help it

But [censored] that thing is a tank
