As far as members of this board go, I fit the bottom-shelf category. I like old double guns and have made them fit with leather and Kydex riser for years. I had a Baker Black Beauty Special in 16-gauge that was choked full and fuller, and with a leather laced on pad I seldom missed a pheasant with it. To be honest, pheasant a somewhat rare around here. If you already have the gun, like it, and want to shoot it better, try a comb adjustment. If you can afford bespoke guns, get them, and avoid buying old guns with too much drop.
