Your price range would buy you and original A grade AH Fox 20. The original or older seem to have a better feel...

I am looking at a model 21 I ran across. Trading info back and forth with the guy.

Also, if I run across a really nice Trojan with 28" barrels I am sort of liking that as an option.

My go to upland gun is a Trojan 16g 28". I shoot Fiocchi SD shells and handloaded spreaders. No problems at all with the reasonable modern ammo and they kill grouse, mudbat, ditch chickens, huns, bunnies, squirrels,,,,,,,,

It’s a rarely used colloquialism for a woodcock.

My friend Mike and I are both local to each other though he's a transplant from flatlander country and I often chide him on that "mudbat" term. Except for a few years I've been local my entire life, have hunted woodcock with many friends since I was a kid, and never heard that term except from Mike and now some of his plebes.
