Why buy a 2”” English gun when you can use 2” shells in the 12 you like to shoot most and the one that patterns best for you?

Lots of folks load their own twelve gauge 2.5” shells with 7/8 oz. and do not feel handicapped in the least either at SC, Skeet or on the upland birds we have here in the East.

You can Dean but if you are seeking a very light 12 gauge, for the most part a 2" only chambered gun will give you that very light weight. I do not think I am interested in purchasing one, just doing some research.
