What's a steady diet of loads when pheasant hunting? Not much. I mostly prefer my pheasant guns to be 7 and under and well under at times. But an SKB would be a fine choice. The Dickinsons I've handled didn't seem all that great, but I never shot one. In any event, it would be nice if the OP would add a few more parameters like weight and barrel length and whatever else is important to him (triggers and safety?).
