I picked up a beautiful 2" 12 this spring --from Battle--after looking around for a while. An absolutely beautiful 5# 2oz B. Halliday BLE, 26". After buying enough ammunition from RST to last a very long time, it got a good workout this fall. It is absolute joy to carry in thick New England grouse cover--Sometimes it's just about fun! It'll head off to get a horn butt plate this winter then, after rechecking the pattern, may get opened up too.

That is, indeed, a beauty. More pictures?
Knocking down pheasants with it, no less. Nicely done. What shot size did you use for that?
I have a friend who wants to take every species of upland bird in North America with a 2". I do not know how far he has gotten yet.
