Kurt,

HOpefully, you can try to shoot the gun before you buy it. Churchill made good quality guns. The XXV was sort of a marketing gimmick in the late 20s/30s to sell more guns. They are usually lightweight and quite a few makers jumped on the lightweight bandwagon. However, Chuchill was the maker with the XXV! As John said above, the XXV was meant to be used with Churchill shooting technique.

I have never shot one, I just seem to shy away from barrels shorter than 27". The 25" barrels should allow you to buy a quality gun at a reduced price.

Ken
