Looking for a shooter, not wall hanger. Will shoot clays and upland birds, no steel or heavy loads.

POW style stock, 2 3/4" chambered, prefer older guns to new. Just not sure when older turns into unsafe.


A tough find without this requirement and about hens teeth with. A BRNO sidelock is a well built piece and can be had for a lot less than $1500. I gave $350 for mine in 2005. Most will have a standard pistol grip and a cheek piece. Mine has a straight grip and no cheek piece and, short of opening the F-F chokes, has been spot on. My youngest son with it a few years ago.
