Here you go again, just what I need to hear. Now where am I going to get the money for a new 16ga. Just recently traded an old Belgin Browning Sweet 16 + $250 for a slightly used CZ12ga O/U and A Pedersoli Sharps with nice tang sights. Got a pair of Pheasant with the CZ just yesterday with my English Setter pup. His first birds by himself without my 10 year old setter showing him the way.
I have a Fox 16ga SxS that has come down through the family, the shotgun I learned to shoot on , but has a bit to much drop at the comb. I tape a thin piece of foam over the comb when I take it out in the field. I still take it out once or twice a year for old time sake. The 16ga. has always seemed like the perfect compromise for New England, I'm going to have to check into this.
