Great idea to stimulate discussion, Frank. Thanks to all responsible.
With the exception of Foxes, which are numero uno, I buy the gun, and not the name. This is an example. I found this gun quite by accident, not looking for one at all at the time. L C Smith Collectors Ass'n guys had a couple tables at a Fall Southern one year. I was just browsing and one of the guys asked me what I was looking for, to which I replied "Nothing, really". He asked what I liked. I said "Long legged smallbores". He pointed out a couple of 32" barreled 16s and told me to take a closer look. This one was stocked unusually long, and with the perfect drop. I walked away, but came back twice to look more. We struck a deal that day, and it has been a favorite ever since. It has an unusual combination of features for a Field Grade gun. Hunter One Trigger, ejectors, 32" barrels choked XF and XF, and the 15" LOP stock. Original consignee was in WV. I've often wondered what he planned to shoot with it. Very high condition.


When hit with 1 1/8 oz. of no. 4s the crows never notice they weren't shot with a 12 gauge.
