Ken, the gun sounds very nice and something that will always be desirable in the future. My only caution would be that being a pigeon gun it is likely to be quite high stocked for rising birds,
ie trap shooting dimensions.Personally this would not work for me.I shoot a Scott Monte Carlo B SLE pigeon gun for sporting clays and occasionally for ducks and pheasants, however I re-stocked the gun
to more typical North American field dimensions with more drop at comb and heel.This works very well for me.We are all different and
this gun may be perfect for you,but stock fit is sooooo important.
Good luck in your pursuit. Terry

Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought stupid,than open it and confirm.
