Last year or so I've been getting my dad's old Iver Johnson Champion 16 ga. single shot out more often. Saw someone else mention one earlier in the thread. It's light and fast pointing and doesn't pound the snot out of you like some of those old single shot 12 ga. guns will. That's the odd one. For the cheap one does 302 bucks qualify as cheap? That's what a brand new base model Henry .22 lever gun cost me with tax when it was on sale back in October. The action is very smooth, it's got a great trigger and I'm having a ball with that one all out of proportion to what it cost me.
