As background information, I'm in my 60's, a lifelong hunter of most anything that flies within a thousand miles or so of Colorado. If I were to meet you today, I'd eventually tell you I consider myself a lifelong mediocre shot. Some rudimentary measurements:

SKB--A pistol grip 12 ga. o/u single trigger, 1 1/2" drop at comb, 2" at heel with 30" bbls. No cast apparent to my eye. As said, my "go to" gun for the 15 or so years I've owned it. I've shot everything from ptarmigan to turkeys with this gun and have never owned any other gun that I've shot nearly as well.

RBL--A straight hand 20 gal s/s double trigger, 1 1/2" drop at comb, 2 1/8" at heel with 28" bbls. A bit of cast off to my eye, maybe 1/8 to 1/4". I bought this gun this summer after agonizing nearly 2 years between an RBL and a 20 ga. Parker Repro. I'm retired and need ALL my disposable income to finance those hunting trips!

Did I mention, on the afore mentioned pheasant hunt, my Springer pup realized what the hell was going on and made several nice flushes and a number of nifty retrieves?
