The Ethos' Progressive Comfort recoil reduction system uses 3 sets of patented interlocking flexible buffers to absorb recoil at different stages to handle different loads. A shim kit enables adjustment of drop and cast. A beveled loading port, redesigned carrier, and new 2-part carrier latch allows the shell to glide into the magazine for easier and faster loading. The carbon fiber ventilated, stepped rib comes with 3 interchangeable fiber optic front sights and metal bead mid sight to provide an excellent sighting plane and rapid sight acquisition. Benelli manufactures Ethos barrels and choke tubes with their Crio® System, which creates an even-grained, slick surface that results in less resistance against wads and shot for uniform shot patterns and cleaner barrels. Plus, this shotgun comes with 5 flush Crio choke tubes (C, IC, M, IM, F), 3 additional Rob Roberts Triple Threat performance chokes, a wrench, and a hard gun case.

The Great Debate: Pointing or Flushing Dogs for Quail

Posted on Wednesday 31st December 1969 06:00:00 PM

My wife said I winced when we pulled up to the only game in town. It was an old motel of a vintage that reminded me of the Golden Era of travel by car. Over the years families probably over-nighted here while on their way to any one of a number of the nearby wild quail Valhallas. No visible capital improvements had been done for a long time, at least I couldn't see any renovation. The 30-some-odd rooms looked sad while the adjoining restaurant and tavern was booming.

SportDOG: Gear the way youd design it

Posted on Wednesday 31st December 1969 06:00:00 PM

My dentist, Doc Biehn, was a waterfowler and I always got to check it out when I got my teeth cleaned as a kid. I remember one visit when he handed me a new, Marlin Super Goose he extracted from his closet. I'd never seen anything like the 10 gauge, bolt action shotgun that took a 3.5 inch shell and came with a two-shell clip and full-choked 34-inch barrel. That beast weighed a whopping 10.5 pounds, making it a virtual shoulder-cannon for waterfowlers. I could barely lift the heavy artillery let alone work the bolt without significant muzzle rock. My amazement turned to confusion, and in the end I couldn't see how that firearm would replace my side-by-side or pump in the blind. The Super Goose must have been designed by someone who didn't hunt geese.
