Here's a nice story about a shotgun once owned by President Eisenhower.

Have seen pictures of it many times but didn't know the story. Thanks.

What can you say except WOW!

Did you notice the bluing wore off of the bottom of the action? My guess is Ike really did use that shotgun a fair amount. Being a side by side aficionado myself, I must agree with Ike, the man had good taste to pick that one.

I've often thought it'd be real hard to have a more successful life than was lived by Dwight Eisenhower.

When you think about it George Washington lived a similar life.

Seems I recall Eisenhower giving a speech one time and he was talking about how great it was to live in a country where a Kansas farm boy could become President. I actually believe his voice "broke" when he mentioned this.

"I like Ike." Remember that one?
