MOW , glad to see you'll drop the auctions, great to look at but that's it. 2 1/2", 2 3/4 whatever. You'll buy the gun you fall in love with. Great dealers: Graham MacInlay in Scotland. Sells the best Dicksons and you really want to consider a Dickson round action in 12b. Also everyone's favorite, Diggory Haddok,his guns are done to a tee and you'll pay for the privilege. I've always liked Safari Outfitters up in New York and you must talk to Toby Barclay at Heritage Guns about your heart's desire in a gun. Four great dealers and there are many more. Have fun. Justin
