Another vote for an RBL, I bought mine used.....looked like a brand new gun....very reasonably. I, too, am not a wealthy man, the RBL is my most valuable gun. They do, however, have 2.75" chambers. For me that is a non issue, if I need 1.25 oz. of shot I'll pull out the 12. With one ounce loads of 6's or 7's, my gun is deadly on prairie grouse out to 40 yards, I do not hunt pheasants.
