Yeah I am with you.......I have 4 pump 12's and two ouble barrel 12's.

But I wanted an auto loader for shooting skeet.

My retired friend has a proffessional skeet range at his house with a high and low tower.

The auto is a lot easier on the shoulder when shooting multiple rounds and also makes for quicker shooting on doubles.

I just might have to take it on a duck hunt or two!

Besides, I really got it as more of an investment.

I paid $200 and the condition it is in will bring around $500 right now, no telling what it might bring in 10 more years!

If I keep it, I will just pas it on to my grandson.

One of my employees asked me if I was interested in a shotgun..."always" I said.

His daughters boyfreind wanted to sell a Remington semi Auto.

I looked at it, Model 58 Sportsman, 12 gauge, 2 3/4 or 3 inch.

Gun had absolutely no wear and the bluing was perfect!

I asked how much? He said $200, I wrote him a check.

Shot some skeet with it yesterday evening, 2 rounds, and even with a full choke, I shot the best rounds ever.

Gonna have it bored and tapped for Rem Chokes so I can get an inproved or skeet choke in it.

Looks like I got me a good semi auto really cheap!

Looked it up and I think they made it from 1956 to 1964 when they came out with the 1100.

My friend who owns the skeet range said it would probably fetch around $500 to $600 as it is so pristine.

Guns are always an investment!
