Hello to all
My name is Dave and I am a proud Winchester owner ,mod 5500 which I think may not mean a lot to most of you and a 1500 xtr. I shoot sporting clays and the odd bit of rough walked up shooting when time allows. My shotgun mod 5500 at least here sets me apart from most of the guys I shoot with. They all tend to go with European guns and I know mine is from Japan but it feels good to shoot my winchester
Looking forward to learning all I can about shooting winchesters.

Why hello there Dave A!
An Englishman owning a Winchester ehhh.
Well I am an American with a few BSA center fire rifles.
Come to think about it I had a few BSA motorcycles too. And more than likely have enough parts/pieces to put another together :D

Dave, you will not regret a model 12. They have been solid performers for years. The new SXP defender is in the running now.
