There are a lot of reasons not to want a Winchester 21 for a dedicated SxS clays gun but I don't think their handling qualities can be disparaged until you have at least shot a flat or two of ammo through one or two of them. They are available in many weights, barrel lengths, chokes etc. I have an old beater 8lb 12oz with Brileys, 32" barrels, a Simmons aftermark vent rib, and a JS Air Cushion Stock and I shoot clays with it a lot, both pre-mounted and low gun. I also have a factory two barrel set with 30" and 26" barrels that weighs 7-6 and is also a delightful gun.
I understand someone not liking the style, appearance, beavertail forend, finish etc.. of a 21. I just think the handling qualities are much better than many seem to think.
Best,
Mike
