May I dream? A Winchester Model 21 SKEET in 28-gauge. Or something roughly analogous from Holland & Holland or one of the other British makers.

Realistically, I'd inexplicably love to have a (relatively) affordable, high-quality Spanish or Italian side-by side in 28-gauge, pistol or semi-pistol grip, flush removable chokes, with nice wood, that I could casually fool around with for trap, skeet, 5-stand, low-flying zeppelin defence, drone suppression, grouse repulsion, and basic aesthetic swaggering.

Not exactly what you are after but fairly close and I expect you could make it so. 21/28/30"

Like Pipeliner, I look for a top quality sidelock British gun, specifically a 30" Purdey pigeon gun. I am lucky to own a Purdey hammer pigeon gun, heavy proof, bar in iron, one of the last ones made. Somehow, I have a craving for a matching hammerless gun.

Early Lefever B side plate, top lever, in 10 or 12ga with 30" barrels, stepped lock plates, carved clover leaf on the breech balls and barrel wings. Nice one on GI but the price is too rich for me.
