I have a C.G. Bonehill sidelock ejector gun that I love. Built in Birmingham circa 1931. It was probably built as a fowler. It is a 12 ga.,has original 2 3/4" chambers, 30" barrels choked Mod. and Full. Minimum barrel wall thickness .035 right tube .040 left tube. The gun weighs 7 lbs. 4 oz. and makes a great clays gun for SXS shoots as well as a cool pheasant gun with RST spreaders in the mod. tube.

I don't know, if I could find a good vierling, I think id discard my 28gauge Parker in a heartbeat, they are tough to come by though.

I've got the drilling thing pretty well covered but a Vierling would be the pooh no doubt ! 16x16-6.5x57R and 22 Hornet or 22LR

Not meaning to be argumentative but I'll grab a 10 or 16 way quicker then a 12 . And in my ALWAYS BIASED OPINION unless it's a goosey or duckie or turkey I can kill it just as quickly or easily with the 28 as I can with a 12

I have two 12b. HJ Hussey Sidelock Imperials circa 1907. Up there with the best English names in terms of overall quality, fit and finish. Both guns weight ~ 6-lb, 3-oz. and are perfectly balanced.
