Single shot shotguns

I have an old Baikal IJ18 in 12 gauge , built like a tank . It's a useful little gun . When I get back in the country I'd like another one in 410 , just because lol .
 
I have a Winchester Steel built mod 37 12 ga, a CIL 410 ,couple of Turkish made Rev rms 20 gauges . I use em all but the Winchester is my favourite. I also have a Winchester Steel built mod 37 in 16 ga but it is a project, need to rebuild a broken rear stock.
I love an old single shot break action, just hard to beat for grouse .
 
I own three ..... Two Cooeys 12 and 20ga and a Stevens 301 Turkey gun also 12ga.

I like the Stevens with the 26" bbl. Sits nicely on the front of my ATV.

Are you a fan of single shot shotguns?

What do you have and what do you use it for?

I have a Stoegar IGA 20g.....it sees action for rabbits, grouse, squirrels and all sorts of other vermin and small game. It is just such a pleasure for carry and shoot.

Let's hear it!

I have a modest collection of older single shot, walnut and steel shotguns including Cooey, Harrington & Richardson, and Iver Johnson, all of them made in Canada. It’s a bit of an affliction with me!
 
I have a Cdn made Iver Johnson Champion, A BSA Single X11, an R.E.G. Hammerless and am currently restoring a fine old Winchester Model 37. I think I have the same affiction as oldpa.
 
I just wonder if anyone can recommend a modern single shot with 18.5 inch barrel, maximum would be 20 inch? I can't seem to find any in this length from factory. I'm not interested in the cut one though.

Thanks in advance.

I had several boxes of old paper CIL shotshells in 7 1/2 shot I used for years. More recently, Remington in lead 6.

Yes ,those old C-I-L Imperial were the best,for sure.I find the Remington Express to be one of ,if not the cleanest burning shells of today.
 
I wish it was cheaper to import shotguns from the UK...
