When we were in Az. saw some 31's.. None had a solid rib.. I am mainly a 12 bore fan.. Too late in life to fool with a 16 ga.. Have a very nice 31 12 with a solid rib.. Makes a super sage grouse gun.. I might spring for a 20 or 12ga. trap model.. I like older shotguns also.. My most used gun is an old 870 that I put a newer barrel on with chokes.. My collection of older guns are most 30 " 12 ga. full chokes, but that was the gun of the day.. Just picked up a nice model 12 12 gs. with a solid rib.. Can't wait to try it on crows, chukars or ducks.. Have a good one and enjoy those old pumps..
