ok, about 1/4 of the way threw the duck season i decided to puchase a new Browning 3.5 inch Gold hunters semi-auto shotgun and retire the old pump. the gun has that "shadow grass" paint with brownings "Dura-tuff" grip lining on it. Well i'm not pleased with the gun AT ALL! Ok i really don't want to brag becuase i hate guys like that but to get my point across you need to understand that i'm a great shot, best in my group, i've been told many time to shoot competitivly. Well i can't hit squat with this thing!!!! not only that but under the rib vent on top of the barrel, its starting to rust from underneath. how that heck is a guy supose to keep that moisture free???????? that and with the cap that holds the barrel on the gun, with that tightened as tight as i can get it i can hold the barrel in my right hand and the stock in the other and it isn't tight AT ALL, it moves alot. Try it with your gun see how much the barrel wiggles around when fully tighened! any advise??? do i need that much practice just because its a new gun??? For an example i went out pheasant hunting today with my buddy, we saw 20 birds 10 of wich were roosters, five of wich should have been FOR SURE clean dead birds, i shot at all ten birds, can you guess how many i shot??? NOT ONE!!!!!!!! if it wern't for him backing me up we wouldn't have gotten the two we did.....i've begun to not trust the gun, thinking it cant hit anything, so i think maybe i might be jinxing it.....and as far as feel goes, the gun fits me like a glove!!!! its just my snap shooting has gone to helll.....anyways any advise wouldbe great.....all you browning gold owners out there, ever have any of my above problems???? how is Brownings customer service anyway???thanks for your help -Chris
