Larry, as I mentioned in a previous post that 7/8th. ounce game loads in 2 1/2" cases can be obtained and, as you assert, are ideal in a light double 12. They kill well if not stretched and are pleasant to use. I rarely use anything much heavier than 1 ounce or 1 1/16th. ounce for all my game shooting. I use my 2" gun just for the pleasure it gives. Very fast handling for flighting pigeons coming in to roost. They are scarce and not really being made any more. There might be the odd barrelled action floating around in the gun Trade but it would cost a lot to have one made up. I'm sure that Hollands or Purdeys would make up a nice 2" sidelock to order for not much under £100,000! Lagopus.....
