I really like my Churchill XXV 12 bore. It's not a "Premiere Grade" SLE, its a lowly Regal grade BLE. :-( I shoot it fairly well, right now its at the Stock Dr.'s shop getting a little southpaw flavor bent into its right-handed buttstock. Even with its "for right hand only" cast off dimensions, this Southy shoots it pretty stinkin good. I bought the XXV with the idea of it being my go to sharptail grouse gun and I think its gonna fill the niche nicely. Heck, it might even pull double duty on pheasants, quail, woodcock, ruffs, rabbits, or anything else I might be after. The Churchill XXV is balanced (well at least mine is anyway) to feel "right" in your hands. It is a very fast handling gun and really not designed for the "sustained" lead type of shooting so popular with "pre-mounted" target shooters. Its fast and gets on target quick, thats what I really like about the gun. For shooting birds over pointing dogs or even a close working flusher....The Churchill XXV is hard to beat.
