According to the late "Old Blue eyes" brown suits, regardless of the breasting configuration, are for dorks. A hunting pal has a Churchill XXV with factory extra 28" barrels- he bought it from Kirby Hoyt at the MI UP clays event held Father's Day week-end 2010-- He does a great deal of preserve hunting- fezzant, quail, and chukar-- He used the 25" set one time, over his Kurzhaar "Max", went to the 28" set, and leaves the 25" set in the luggage case--that tells me a great deal. He invited me to a Fall planted pheasant hunt on his club, I took my "Pet" Smith 12 2E 30" barrels, he had the 28" XXV/ Granted, Max is a close tight holding pointing dog, but he killed 7 birds straight with only the first barrel with that "Limey Gun"..
