I've been looking for an inexpensive single-shot scatter gun for the rare and occasional pheasant hunt. I found this on gunbroker: http://www.gunbroker.com/Item/593553515

I have an I-J Champion 20 gauge that has never let me down on rabbits or grouse shooting 2 3/4", it cost me $75. Is this a similar deal or is this an old black powder relic ill-suited for modern shot gun loads?
 
Not sure what era these were made, may have short 2 1/2" chamber, and most kicked like a mule with the way the stock was designed. Many older singles had cracked stocks as well. I personally would not spend more than $40 on it, especially sight unseen.
