yea given the limited availability of 20 gauge steel
all you can get is trap loads or 3 inch black cloud.
with a slip on recoil pad over the current one it would have been pretty close to perfect for my short arms
but even my now unlawful over water lead 2 3/4 fiochhi goose bashers [30 grams of lead 2,s]
would be hard in a gun that light if it wasn't padded .
the 3 inch lead loads were more hype and noise than actual need
be a fantastic gun for quail/pheasant hunts over dogs or up in the hills for chukar where your carrying more than your shooting.

went back in to visit the sceptre but ran into a aya 106 12g in great nick.
couldn't resist open choke and 2 3/4 inch steel capable.
cant wait to test in the morning for geese and paries tomorrow avo.
will post some proper pics when the opportunity presents

god I love a well balanced double
even faststeel and gamebiore fast 2 3/4 inch 32 gram loads couldn't dampen my enthusiasm.
got some fitasc loads in 6.5 shot?????
cos I had no 12 gauge lead at all

the aya 106
my pics don't really do t justice
