It’s about the dogs…
Jonathan, it’s a CZ Teal in 20 gauge, 28” barrels, choked IC & M. A tad bit heavy for chasing chukar and huns, but still a nice upland gun. You can find them on sale under $500.
For the steep stuff, I prefer my Beretta Silver Pigeon 286 with 26” barrels. Or… if I want to miss with 3 shots, a Franchi Affinity 3, also with a 26” barrel, choked M. Both are 20 gauge.
So, are you a SxS guy? Gotta be careful with those double guns…?

No, I didn’t do that.
My grandfather’s L C Smith is back from the gunsmith, and with a set of Damascus barrels that are probably a couple of decades older than the shotgun when new.. The barrels are 28”, choked M/F, and chambered for 2-1/2” shells. The barrels are very tight to the action. Now if I can just find 2-1/2” low pressure shells, we will chase a few birds and hopefully put a grouse on the table.Jonathan, it’s a CZ Teal in 20 gauge, 28” barrels, choked IC & M.

That is a fine scattergun Steve. I hope you find the shells for it soon.Ó
