If I could only have one shotgun (there are a lot of liberals who are convinced that one is a good start toward zero) it wouldn't be a double.

Ithaca 12 gauge 37 pump, with a 30" barrel, a 26" barrel, 22" rifled barrel, and an 18" barrel with ghost ring sights. It would work for more things than John's RBL.

Granted, it would suffice, but, I'd feel strange letting a two-legged varmint have it in the chest with a load out of a 20 gauge Purdey.

Pragmatic is my middle name.

Best,
Ted
