Nice thing about all this documentation of "Hardware store" shotguns- a big ol' rooster cacklin' as his wings beat, coming out of the cut cornfield- doesn't matter if he drops dead from a H&H or an H&R- it's all good. My pick, as also Steve Bodio's, is for the "Working Man's double- the Ithaca NID. My friend, the late Brad B. also endorsed it-- RWTF.
