The old scatter gun was showing some age. It was the first gun I paid for myself, with money I saved up from cutting grass and other chores---a whopping $300 or so new. Some rust showing here and there. The "bluing" wearing off. A cracked edge where the stock meets the receiver. Despite it being a "cheap" gun, I'd always liked how it shouldered, and I felt like I swung through my shots better with the thing---maybe because of the heavier weight of the over and under. I wasn't ready to sell it for next to nothing. I'd shot my cousin's CZ "All Terrain," and really enjoyed it. The gun is an over and under featuring a walnut stock and forearm with an "OD" green receiver and barrel coated with Cerakote---in an effort to make the typically less weatherproof over and under more durable in the field. I thought it looked cool too: (https://www.gundogmag.com/editorial/cz-redhead-premier-allterrain-shotgun-review/466807...
