Won't damascus regulate you to rst shells only?

It depends on the opinion of the shooter. I shoot RST more for the wood then the barrels anyway.

you can reload lighter shells as well

Polywad sells low pressure shells as well.

My "Bird Gun" purchased at the Spring Southern is a 26 inch 12 G 1 1/2 frame VHE. My opinion it handles better than my O frame Trojan 20 or 1 frame Trojan 16 . Guns are a only a few oz apart but it pays off how the gun feels.

Use the same shot weights all three, 3/4 & 7/8, the 12 patterns better too.

Don't overlook a 1 1/2 frame D Grade. May be easier to find than a one.

I have a PH on a 1 1/2 frame that handles like a dream

How about this guy?

Stock looks like a replacement. Keep in mind the only people who have to be happy about a deal are the buyer and the seller

Very poor restock. And overpriced for the quality of it.

A 2 frame 30" gun? Hardly a lightweight bird gun.

Though both of my "go to" upland guns are damascus DH 12 #1 frame guns, you might look for a 1 1/2 frame with 26" steel barrels. I have a VH in that configuration and it is a very fast handling gun and a pleasure to carry. Much lower price too! Once the gun is mounted it's impossible to tell if it has 26" or 28" barrels.
