purchased on in 28ga myself - very thrilled with the overall finish and fit of the shotgun i'm sure it will break in nicely;

Used the S&S on doves some today. Had a learning circle to it, but hit the last 4 straight.

Seems l can’t load a photo taken with my camera, but l can it it’s taken with my phone. I don’t see a way to down size it like before

You might try reducing the resolution. It worked on my camera.

Got the camera for the quality of pictures. Don’t think l will change it. But that probably is the issue

If you take photo's on your phone and email them to yourself it typically asks which size right before you send them and you can select the lowest resolution. You can also right click on a photo if your on your pc and and selecting resolution should also be an option.

I took my sxs double and a new benelli SBE 29ga dove hunting yesterday - started off with the double pretty good then flopped about 6-8 shots lol. I switched to the SBE as I am going to take teal hunting in a couple of weeks and I do shoot the single barrels better so the sxs will take some getting use too. Overall we were not anticipating any birds at the ranch and for a while we had plenty of birds working the area so it was a great day in the field with my step son and our adopted son his buddy (not really adopted but we would claim him in a new york men - fine young man).

The only issue for me with the double is the release to load/unload is made for RH people and it's a little stiff much easier to pull (RH) then push (LH) - but that will happen. It was a nastalgia purchase thinking a few upland hunts but I didn't completely suck with the standard wing shooting, so i'll take it! Maybe a 20ga in my future who knows??? ;)

Couple hours the other morning. Tough going with all the snow on the ground

That is a GREAT photo! Weatherby should ask you to use it in their catalog or website.
Come and take it.
