This may not have anything to do with anything, but choke constriction can get to your head. I have always thought modified and full were just fine until steel shot and notox regs showed up. Every grouse and woodcock I ever killed, I killed with a modified choke, and pheasants were not lost when I hit them with my full choke 16 ga. Modified is what I counted on. That said, I don't buy guns to collect them, and admire men who can because though I don't do it, I understand it. The Winchester 21 is a gun I admire because of its strength, not its appearance. The Ithaca NID is the gun that fills my bill in that regard. Cheaper and sturdy. To be honest i would just want one gun to do it all in the strength, durability, and affordability arena, and the NID is as close as it gets because I want it U.S.A. built, and Merkel is not, so Wingmaster has to suffice. I am a doublegun fan.
