Yeah Bob, I agree...I always wanted a 16ga Model 12 for some reason. Even 35 years ago they were still an oddity, you just didn't see many 16ga's. Those purple 16ga shells were kewl looking. I've got an old 16ga sxs "beater" that's been in the family for 100yrs, but it's still fun to shoot quail with.
