12 gauge Stackguns for upland-what do you like

Do remember when guy that started Gander Mountain told of his Belgium Browning 20 gauge 3" Superposed and the 1-1/4 ounce loads of #6's N # 4's that he used for the taking of 1,000's of Ringneck Pheasants over 30 years.ThinkN article was in Shooters Bible or something like it. Finally found a similar rig at a Scheels that was mint, from 60's round knob 3 inch, South Dakota, she's basically Harry Potter wand good!!
 
Kind of sort out flirting with the idea of getting a new or used 12 gauge O/U upland etc here in Montana and in the Dakota's during late fall. I've an old Benelli (24") sausage grinder that's been my main gun since 1992, love the old gun but it do become a single shot when it's cold, wet and ugly out...

I use a old Charles Daly 28 O/U that I love to carry and is dynamite on birds! Plus lovely to carry...

And of course a 870 Special Field 20 and a 101 in 20 as well that I've had since 1985.

Long and the short I still have a world supply of 1970 vintage Remington Green Baby Mags. My grandpa passed in 72 and left me a handful of cases of ammo. I have a goal of shooting these up so I don't have to pass them on to my grandson as well:)

Sorry for the long story but I'm thinking about a over and under 12 if I can find one that doesn't feel like a 2x4!

I've been liking the feel of a Rizzini Light Luxe, still just a bit bulky, probably too used to my small fram 28's and 20's.

Looking for an suggestions, I have a pension for liking the older stuff as not much new does anything for me. I kind of like some of the older (70's) Ithaca's, even the old Rem 3200 Special Field I like a bit (shot one for trap a bit when I was a young pup in the 70's). The old Charles Daly's and BC MIroku's almost always fit well. Not, a fan of the Citori's!

Any thoughts oh wise ones?

(I normally take a couple hundred wild birds a year so it will be treated well...:)
You can still find some Miroku's and CD's on Gunbroker. I have a Miroku in 20 gauge and love it. And shoot clays with a Citori CX crossover. It fits me like a glove..
Have you looked a the Citori 725. Totally different feel from the standard Citori but a late model gun.
