I've never seen a 100 with any engraving like that or with 30" barrels. Certainly, that was money well spent.

This Simpson has been on several duck hunts. Bought a shopping cart full of 10ga 3.5" #6 Federal tungsten when Cabelas was closing them out. Took them apart and reloaded them for the 16ga. The tungsten hits them about like lead used to.

Mission accomplished! I don't think I'll ever hunt ducks with anything but a SxS again.

Looks like a dog from whom I would think twice before swiping one of those gorgeous woodies...

Brent- congrats on the proper grammar in your sentence structure. Perhaps like myself, you studied the phraseology of Winston Churchill- who once famously said: "An umbrella (bumbershoot) is an item which in the London rain I shall not go without". I gave up shooting woodies and teals years ago, the heavier steel loads and the full choked 12 gauge M12's I use for mallards and geese tend to dis-integrate the smallish ducks. RWTF

Looks like that BSS is gettin' it done, Dave. Congratulations. Were did you end up at with the chokes? You probably told me but I've forgotten a lots lately.

Thanks, Stan. I was hoping you'd see the post. I let out that left barrel to .018", so it's now .018 x .018 like yours. Works out real well. With bismuth it's shooting solid Mod patterns, and with steel it tightens up to Full choke performance.
Earlier in the day I was shooting my old 16 gauge Remington 11 and I couldn't hit a dammed thing with it. I have seemed to have lost my ability to quickly adapt to different shotguns. For hunting I'll be sticking to SxS's.

I thought that was what you did, but wasn't sure. Those two .018" have served me well for some 10 years in mine. Wouldn't change anything in hindsight. I remember how long it's been because I won the AA class S x S event at the US Open in Tunica, in 2010 with it, with the original M and F chokes. I had my buddy open the left barrel so that I could shoot steel in it that next duck season.
