For the last 5 years a DeHaan SO 12 ga. has been one of my waterfowl guns. This year it went to my son. Have had to go to a shudder SA for heavy waterfowl loads due to shoulder problems. Over decoys still will use a 20 ga. SxS with Kent TM and Bismuth. The DeHaan was a very good waterfowl shotgun and never felt handicapped with a SxS.
