    I would urge you to try the gun if possible. I was unable to shoot a 25" barrel gun. Strange but Holts shotgun man says the same thing. You need to develop a new style of shooting to use it well.

    It’s a 28in , the dealers seem to have a lot of 25in ,I’ve looked at Sabel,Aya no2, W&S all 25in ,the Churchill was the only 28in I saw ,I particularly liked the Sabel if it had been 28in I’d have bought it in a flash

    Churchill had, post Robert Churchill, a variety of owners including it is said at one stage Sam Cummings below:

    It then became through various mergers and etc. Churchill, Atkin, Grant and Lang which I remember back in the day when their premises were across from St. James's Palace over the road from William Evans. This I think was when they were part of the same group that owned Hardy the fishing tackle maker. Harris and Sheldon AFAIR. Who also owned Webley & Scott. Which is a round the houses way of saying that some later Churchill guns will (and I'm happy to corrected) basically be Webley made guns and in some cases Webley 700 guns.
