You have to really hate ducks to spend this much money to shoot them.

I have to disagree with you guys about 16ga. I love a 16 for upland shooting. I don't think any gun puts a 1 oz load down range better and really like a 1 oz load for birds. But ducks are tough. The 12ga does a lot better job. Wounding an animal so that it dies at a later date is cruel.
