I've got my eye on a Churchill.
I'm looking hard at a Churchill. It's earlier than the famous XXV. Nice looking box lock. 30" tubes, cyl/cyl, steel. Price is on the edge of what I can afford. The gun is pretty much like new, but made in 1896. I sold my skeet gun (Remy Model 11, 20 gauge; and yes I weep when I think of it, my old friend.) I'm thinking that I could use cyl/cyl on the skeet range and it might help on the Clay range too. I could use some help (lots) there. I also think that I could push steel thru it which is nice. An old gun that I can shoot steel thru....that's a treat. Like many of us, I like to own and shoot classic shotguns. The trouble is I'm not a rich guy. I'm an average guy so I can't squeeze 5 or 6K for a shotgun. If I did I'd be single again.
