A BSS BL in 12ga makes a pretty good duck gun for steel shot, with 3" chambers, reliable single trigger, stout barrels and plenty of weight.
I think Stan wore one out doing that exact task with it.
I don’t hunt ducks, but, own a few duck guns because they came to live here when their owners no longer needed them. A Mossberg 500 I own has been going to Canada for about a decade every fall to hunt with a kid that came through one of my firearms safety classes when he was 12. The little guy is about 6’5” now, and has little guys of his own. I tried to give it to him, but, his Mrs. gave him the stink eye over it. My son uses it to crush clays on his High School trap league.
Not sure how I’d feel about a decent double in the bottom of a duck boat.
Best,
Ted
