Have to second the vote on the Rem Model 31 and add the Winchester Model 12. Both are built on "true" 16 ga frames and consequently carry a lot better than a 12 ga of the same model. It might be as plain as a mud fence by the standards of most double fans, but I usually shoot my plain barrel (i.e., ribless) Mod 31 16 ga as well or better than any other gun I've ever owned.
