Nice review my son in law and grandson both shoot Lincolns. Lincoln have always made some good VFM guns, I have a Cogswell and Harrison 20g now made in the same factory as the Lincolns, Like you I could never really get on with my Berreta 12g I had stock altered but it didn't help, I love the Coggy 20 and with modern cartridges its breaks clays as good as any 12.
