went back to my roots!

[Mr. 16 gauge]

My preferences are a Remington Model 870, Model 1100 or an Ithaca Model 37. These are classic guns that just get the job done. All the best...

....and don't forget the Browning A5 (and it's clones)

I have all the above mentioned firearms, but it was only a few years ago that I got myself an 1100; I found a used one for a good price on a local gun rack, and it 'followed' me home.
I had my best day waterfowling with that gun this past season....living proof you don't need a 3" shell for ducks.
