Similar to Stan, I own a Dickinson Estate with a .410 bore. Mine has 28" bbls., which are plenty long enough for my usage. At 5 lbs. 6 oz. this man-sized gun with a 14 5/8" LOP balances perfectly. I've never had an issue with it, although it comes with a lifetime warranty and a factory repair facility located in Oregon should it ever require fixing. It has been reported that many of these Dickinsons have heavier than desired trigger pulls, but mine came from the factory new with 4 1/2 and 5 lb. pulls.

What other offering at anywhere near this price point can you find a true trigger plate action (others that come to mind start at multiple tens of thousands of $$$), true bone charcoal case coloring, scalloped action, through-lump barrels, brazed ribs, chrome-lined bores, raised file-cut rib, proven Southgate selective ejectors, Turkish walnut stock and forend, claimed hand-cut checkering and hand-engraving? Like Stan says . . . "It's a lot of gun for the $$$."
