Plenty of both of'em out there and with the depressed prices today, they're a good buy at $450 or $500 for a good 12ga gun. The hammer is the obvious difference; some like it some don't.

My preference'd be the Model 12 in a 16 or 20 ga. There's also a lot of the Browning copies around; a 10ga makes a good duck gun! Take your time and buy yourself a nice "prescious to prescious" present for Christmas...Geo
