Slightly off topic, but related to my previous thread about tightening chokes in a double, what would be the best $500 or under backup 16b gun (notice I didn't say it necessarily had to be a double) that would a)be able to handle almost any factory load if called for, and b)have some measure of choke flexibility (no fixed choke single barrel guns). The gun would be an all purpose backup/clays/waterfowl/rainy day gun to give me a few more options to go with my much loved 30" Lefever, which I primarily use as an upland hun/chukar/pheasant gun. I'm thinking either a Lefever nitro (it would be nice to have a pair of Lefevers), a bps 16b (Browning is coming out with them this year) to match my bps 12b (I like the tang safety and bottom ejection), or maybe even an A-5. There's an older solid rib A-5 at a local shop with a poly choke (I know, they're ugly, but functional) and sling for $350 that is pretty tempting, and it has a great "patina." Thoughts?
