I haven't been physically able to hunt for years, but I still miss my late-'60's-vintage 311 with the Sears name on it. It was a twenty gauge, 28" full and modified, with three-inch chambers. It was my all-time favorite shotgun, and took a ton of doves and rabbits.

My only remaining long gun is an extremely well-worn 530A twelve gauge with checkered walnut stock and fore stock. It had almost no finish when I bought it for an off-key song, and the former owner had punched his name on the right barrel. It was twenty-six inches improved cylinder/modified. It too was terrific on rabbits and doves. Eventually I had the barrels cut to twenty inches for a house gun. It's ugly as homemade sin and heavy even cut down, but I'm hanging on to it.

I'm guessing it's pre-WWII, but don't know that.
