Last gun I bought prior to the "68 Gun Law" was one of the Richland 707 20 ga that Ted mentioned. I bought it mail order through Herter's for a good bit less than Richland's price. I will agree with all that Ted said about it. I well remember Francis Sell's promotion of the 3" 20ga Ted, of course I'm not one of the "Youngsters" here. Mine was 28" choked mod/Full & weighed 6Ľ lbs. I eventually gave it to my son who still has it. I have wished on several occasions I had it back.

Although I do not have the experience on them I don't think that most Early American 20's, often with 2˝" chambers & even if 2 3/4" not needing very heavy loads would be my choice for a "Wild Pheasant" gun.
