I have a 16ga Ithaca - Western Arms Corp. (basically a Nitro Special with an iron receiver?) that I've used for snipe, quail, dove, ducks and turkey. It's choked a little too tightly and it's a little too heavy (7lbs.) but it handles 1 1/8oz. loads just fine. I generally use TM through it for ducks. I've put #6 (in your face teal) and #7 steel (snipe) through it, too. It seems to "blow its pattern" with the steel, which is fine with me...as long as it doesn't blow anything else!~)

I must admit that I'm intrigued with the idea of a BPS in 16, since I seem to shoot my straight stocked 12 as well as anything I have and I need as much help with my shooting as I can get!
