Just right, though I don't intend to overpay either.

Just right is 12 or 16 gauge, 2.75", choked IC/M, 6# or less, pistol or semi-pistolgrip, 26-28" barrels, with reasonable drops and LOP, and easy on the eyes. Intended for pheasant loads, not a grouse or quail gun.

It doesn't have to be a Darne, but they interest me, and they tend to run lighter than many others. Pistol-grip guns in those gauges, if English, seem to rarely be in the sub 6 pound range. There was someone here on the forum who sold a Darne on GB in the last few months. THAT gun would do, and I bid all I had at the time, but lost. I could and would bid considerably more now for that same gun.
