I appreciate the information. I failed to mention earlier that this would not be a waterfowl gun. I got tired of getting pounded with 3" 12 gauge steel in the 870 I have used for the last quarter of a century so four months ago I got a Beretta gas gun for the ducks. I will only shoot snipe with the gun I am looking to get, and if you don't hunt these little four ounce birds I can tell you that they are as fragile as any game bird. I should have no problem getting the job done with 20 gauge 2 3/4" loads of 3/4 oz of #7 steel.
