From top to bottom:
1) Custom Ithica over-n-under 12Ga (I used to shoot competitively once a week PBD)
Sweet, what type of shooting did you do?
I personally love sporting clays. I don't have the attention span for trap and skeet. With the monotony, my mind starts wandering or I start playing around with it trying to hit stuff faster or farther or whatever to stay interested. With sporting clays, a new challenge every station keeps my attention and keeps me much more interested.
I also really like the Security Six. My dad had one (black with stock grip, those wood grips look really nice there on yours) with a couple of quick-loaders as the home defense option in his house.

Next up for me, my other shotgun. I only have 2 guns with me in California, my others are back home in North Carolina with my dad.
So the other gun I have with me is also a Beretta, this one a semi-auto. It's a 390 Gold Sporting 12 ga. with 30 inch barrel, and it is the silver-sided version. This gun has been as customized as it can be, though: Extended length of pull with kickeez recoil pad (the cheaper option for a big guy like me, as opposed to the full custom stock on my other gun), full action disassemble/polish for smoothness, a full trigger rework for length and weight of pull, quick-close switch installed, barrel back-bored to .735, lengthened forcing cones to 5 inches, gas ports expanded, barrel ported, and the chokes re-cut/threaded for longer Seminole SG2 chokes custom-made for the .735 bore.
I don't actually have any photos of this gun, so here is a photo of the exact same model from another site:
My other guns at home, hopefully I may be able to get the Kimber out here this year to play around with. All photos here are stock photos of the same models:
1) My previous shotgun, a Ruger Red Label 12ga. O/U with 28inch barrels. Won a youth national championship with this shotgun.
My first shotgun was actually a Remington 1100, and I sold it when I got the Ruger. Couldn't bear to part with the Ruger when I got the Beretta 390, and couldn't part with either of those when I got the Beretta 682. In many, many moons, when I am older and rich, I will one day have an SO-grade Beretta O/U.
2) Remington 541-T .22LR rifle. First rifle, fun little thing to shoot with peep sights.
3) Kimber HS .22LR. Helluva cool gun. Kimber's .22s come with a grouping card from the factory, showing how the rifle groups from a vice. My gun's card had a 10 shot .24-inch group at 50 yards from a vice. Expensive for a .22, but awesome. I won a youth national championship in paper targets with this gun.
4) Ruger 77 .243 All-Weather (all stainless and composite). Light little thing will beat you up. Had to put a new Timney trigger in it because it was so bad from the factory, but it's EXCELLENT now. Zero creep, adjustable weight, perfect trigger. Killed my first deer with it.
