I've never seen a 100 with any engraving like that or with 30" barrels. Certainly, that was money well spent.

This Simpson has been on several duck hunts. Bought a shopping cart full of 10ga 3.5" #6 Federal tungsten when Cabelas was closing them out. Took them apart and reloaded them for the 16ga.
The tungsten hits them about like lead used to.

Mission accomplished!

I don't think I'll ever hunt ducks with anything but a SxS again.

Zeb is a sweetheart. My prior Draht, Gus, would have growled if you looked at the ducks.

Brent- congrats on the proper grammar in your sentence structure. Perhaps like myself, you studied the phraseology of Winston Churchill- who once famously said: "An umbrella (bumbershoot) is an item which in the London rain I shall not go without". I gave up shooting woodies and teals years ago, the heavier steel loads and the full choked 12 gauge M12's I use for mallards and geese tend to dis-integrate the smallish ducks. RWTF

Thanks, Stan. I was hoping you'd see the post. I let out that left barrel to .018", so it's now .018 x .018 like yours. Works out real well. With bismuth it's shooting solid Mod patterns, and with steel it tightens up to Full choke performance.

Earlier in the day I was shooting my old 16 gauge Remington 11 and I couldn't hit a dammed thing with it. I have seemed to have lost my ability to quickly adapt to different shotguns. For hunting I'll be sticking to SxS's.

I thought that was what you did, but wasn't sure. Those two .018" have served me well for some 10 years in mine. Wouldn't change anything in hindsight. I remember how long it's been because I won the AA class S x S event at the US Open in Tunica, in 2010 with it, with the original M and F chokes. I had my buddy open the left barrel so that I could shoot steel in it that next duck season.
