Hey RifgleGunBuilder:

I hunt dove, quail, and pheasant almost exclusively with 16s.

The AyA 4/53 at 6lb or so would come close to the ultimate sixteen-one-gun-only upland gun (at least that could eat WalMart ammo). Have the chokes bored out to cylinder and 20 thousandths and you would want two triggers. Would carry well on the long walks quail and pheasant hunting entail. It would bite you some on an 1-1/8th pheasant load but who notices recoil when a rooster is in the air?

The Ithaca NID (not flues) would also fit the bill.

Best,

Mike
