    You could try John Kavanagh in Fingal sports club or John Conroy in Co.Laois.

    The 20 bore doesn't give up much to the 12 bore these days. They are also lighter to carry, which is a real help slogging through mud when rough shooting.

    I bought a 12 guage side by side aya 1985 off that man in Mallow about 3 years ago for €400. Excellent gun and very little wear.

    I shoot trap better with a 20ga than a 12ga. Much easier to swing.

    That said, I wouldn't want one shooting ducks on the Sionna.

    There are a lot of secondhand SXS in Hilltop, including a few very nice English guns that might be in your price range. Its well worth dropping up to have a look.

    One benefit of Hilltop is that if you see something you like you can usually take it out to break a few clays to see how it fits :D
