Oskar,
I have a 16 gauge Simson that is a very nice handling upland bird gun. It originally had a cheek piece stock but handled quite well. It had too much drop for me so I did restock it. The chokes were 0.043" in both barrels! Extra full and extra full. I have opened it to 0.013 and 0.023 (LM/IM) for open plains hunting.
I've never fully understood the crazy tight chokes, but my gun was built as a nice handling gun for wing shooting. I'm toying with finding a German 16 gauge o/u and just doing a butt stock transplant with a cheek piece made to fit me. These German 0/U can be nice light guns around 6 1/4 to 6 1/2 pounds. Are you in WI or WA now? I'll be at Medford next week with my Simson if you want to shoot it.
Regards,
Jeff
