Home Forums Birds & Dogs Shotguns Anyone else think the 16 gauge is the perfect gauge?

I like the 16. Used to shoot a few birds with my dad's old Ithaca 37 in 16 gauge and recently bought this one from FieldGrade.


(Dakota Deer, just looked at my dad's 37 and it is 352,xxx serial number. Very light shotgun and great to carry but I have never been able to consistently hit birds with it. The full choke probably doesn't help.)

Ammo is available in our one little shop and you can even find it in one of the three gas stations in town.

6.25lbs of sweetness.




Fancy ammo even shows up in the mail.
(Ole's recommendation of nickel plated #5's...)





But of course it only works on gentlemen's hunts...
