D-No,

For the money, the gun is extremely nice. I carried it for about half the season and just never got comfortable shooting it. The SxS thing just never clicked for me. I ended up moving back to the Winchester, as it fit me better and therefore I shoot it much better. The Bobwhite though is a great option if you’re looking for an entry sidebyside.

It was a very solid gun while I carried it. You get alot for the price. To be honest though, try as I may, I didn’t shoot it that well and chose to sell it to a friend. With what limited hunting time I have, I carry the Winchester. Glad you liked the original post.

Fit / finish and has it been reliable? I really enjoyed your post on the Winchester 101!

It’s a 20ga CZ Bobwhite. I’m not shooting it particularly well and ended up going back to my over under for this season. The new site picture and double trigger is taking some getting used to.

I went back east for Christmas and couldn’t wait to get back to the sunshine here in AZ. Gotta love the AZ winters.

It’s great to hear about birds of the year and good bird numbers around the state. I appreciate the kind words on my blog. Take care.

All flew like adult birds, but upon examination, four of the five cocks were not fully feathered around the head, and the hens were smaller, all birds of the year. We, to, were hunting along the border, but perhaps west of where you were hunting. Thanks for your blog–as an old man, I enjoy watching your family grow and enjoy the “out door life”. I have also tried to pass it on to my children and grand children.
