My dad a had a Stevens 311 in 16 gauge. Until I bought my own side by side, I used it to hunt quail, dove and ducks in Oklahoma. I own a half dozen side by side today, a few Spanish made in Eibar, and a couple of Brownings, an old Ithaca, and a Turkish Dickenson set in .410 and 28 gauge. I still have my dad's old Stevens.
