Researcher, that NID 28 is real dang handsome and you're right, probably doesn't "go for entry-level prices," (to say the very least!).

But when I say "smallbore" I mean anything that isn't an 8, a 10, or a 12. Is that common practice, or does "smallbore" mean only REAL SMALL bores, say 20s, 24s, 28s, 32s, and .410s? In that case what do we call a 16? Or is the term "smallbore" just confusing, obsolete, and to be eschewed in serious shotgun discussions? (I note that it means VERY different things to different people in RIFLE discussions--some guys think it means anything smaller than .308; some only use it to describe .224 and smaller.).
