Must say I have used my 10-bore Darne R-16 for chukars, huns and pheasants. The gun carries St. Etienne superior proof with 75mm chambers and weighs 7lbs 2 oz.

The barrels use Briley choke tubes in skt, M, IC, and Full. It carries and handles well in the field and reloads quickly in the blind. Would not hesitate to use it against quail, but so far it's been the Charlin 12 gauge that has done that service.
