I have owned one 26 inch 12ga, a GHE skeet. If there is one 26 inch barreled gun there are a dozen in the safe but all are small bores. I haven't hunted with a 12 in a very, very, very long time. That being said I did enjoy some Quail hunting recently with a 30 inch Stephan Grant hammer gun using RST 2 inch shells which has gotten me to thinking of a British game gun.
