My dad's only shottie was the zoli sixteen, so that's what I started with. I did borrow twelves from fellow hunters, which sealed the deal on making the zoli my first choice as an all-round hunting gun. It's a very nice upland gauge and configuration to carry in the woods, and I've found it will keep up with most guns in the duck and goose blind when shooting bismuth, and do it it style. My M12 sixteen also fits the bill very well, but I mainly use it water fowling, with the odd upland hunt thrown in.

Already started loading up for next season.


Life is too short to have a 'hate on' for so many things or people. Isn't it?
