Among my other shotguns I have Beretta 687's in 12 and 20 gauges and AyA No 2's in 12 and 20 gauges. My AyA's have fixed I/C & MOD chokes and the Beretta's might as well have fixed I/C & MOD because they only come out for cleaning to be sure they don't get stuck in the gun.
Last week I took the Beretta's to South Dakota on a 3-day pheasant hunt but only used the 20 gauge and never felt undergunned. If invited back next year I'll take my AyA and Beretta 20 gauges and probably shoot the AyA because I prefer SxS's and keep the Beretta as a backup.
My wife has a 20 gauge Grulla side-lock ejector and a 16 gauge Ugartechea boxlock ejector. She much prefers the 20 gauge and shoots the 16 infrequently.
I like 16's, especially my 1866 Joseph Lang, but keep in mind that cartridges can sometimes be difficult to find so you must plan ahead with a large inventory or reload.
