I've never owned one, but back in the pre-68 days of my youth, I spent many an hour drooling over them in the Sears-Roebuck catalog. They were cheap. I didn't have a chance of ever owning one of those fancy "Ted Williams" automatic's or even a pump, but a kid picking tomatoes for $5.00 a day could dream about a bolt action 12 ga with a C-lect choke.

Never did get one. Ended up with a Sears double, 12 ga., 2 3/4" chamber, 30" barrels, mod/full, with a "hardwood stock". Man! I was in high cotton.
