Gary the Dickson sounds like a dream gun. I don't hunt doves so I can't help you th gundere but if I did a grade 1 32inch 16ga hammer gun would be a top pick for me.
i have had a couple of upland hammer guns that i could cock both hammers as i raised the gun, i hunteud grouse and woodcock for years with that 30" Wm Moore & Grey i had listed here some time ago.

i will admit to having some trouble cocking both on my Parker 10, that one has very strong springs
