In retrospect, my perfect gun has changed over my 6.5 decades. In my midteens through my 20's it would have been a 12ga. AHE straight grip, SSBP, semi-bt, double triggers in 26-28", choked .010/.020. In my 30's it would have been the same gun as above only in a 20ga. When the big 40 hit, the smallbore bug really bit. This gun would be the same as the previous 2 were described only in a 28ga. with 29" barrels.
It's funny because Rich described my gun in his post but I think he left off the SSBP on his order.
