Happy Early Anniversary to Me!

Nicola and I will soon be celebrating our 5th anniversary. In honor of this momentous occasion, we've tried doing something that we've never done before. We got a present for me! Normally we just get a nice gift for Nicola.

I got a Benelli Ultra Light 12 gauge Shotgun, and I just picked it up yesterday. I will be shooting it for the first time in about an hour and a half. Anyone interested in Shotguns should check this one out at
If anyone out there is wondering where the money came from - it came from my motorcycle fund. That's right, I'm pushing back the purchase of my next motorcycle so I can own this.

Yes, this was a necessary purchase because my other shotgun, while pretty is not really an everyday shooter right now. The new walnut stock is starting to crack after only about 500 rounds because I didn't completely fix it back when I replaced the wood. More on this later, as I decided I will make a seperate post detailing my Ithaca model 37. It is also a 16 guage which is getting ridiculously hard to find reasonably priced ammunition for, and it's a pump. While pumps are good guns, I felt like I deserved a semi-automatic;) Here are the two guns side by side.
