I shoot a Remington 11 in 16 gauge and enjoy it a lot. There is something about it that is reminiscent of a time long ago. Mine has a solid rib and full choke, but as long as I let the birds get out a little bit before firing it works well. Just don't shoot a chukar at 12 yds with that full choke, by reflex, I'll tell you from experience, there wasn't enough for the dog to pick up. Definately my bad. Good luck with yours, they are fine shotgun. Ryan
