Cabela's has the Dickinson featured on their website. I'm working on getting my hands on one for a field test. I had a chance to play with a couple of the S&W's shortly after they appeared. Both nice guns in terms of appearance, finish, etc, and they shot well--although the ST version had a really heavy trigger. The DT version, which I shot later, didn't have the trigger issues. At least some of the Dickinsons have choke tubes, which the S&W's didn't have--or at least not the ones I shot.

Has anyone handled a 12 bore? I'm concerned about the balance. When you have different gauges made on the same action, as is apparently the case, it usually happens that the smaller bores are balanced pretty nicely, but the bigger bores feel rather like waterpipes. There's not a single one in any of the gun shops where I live, so I can't answer that one for myself.

I shoot one and so does a friend of mine. They are both very well balanced guns. I have one in all three gauges and they all are built to handle well.

Thank you!
