Well done! I have a twin to that one. I am a life long fan of the 16 ga. And it was my primary gauge for forty years of bird hunting. I put five big fox squirrels in the crock pot Monday with a old Belgium Browning A5 16 ga., it was my primary birdgun when living in S. Cal, and AZ., back in the 70's. It shoots the old 2 9/16" shell.
I have a SxS 16 that I hunted with the last ten years of my bird hunting career that I have downed dozens of birds with. I concur about the 16 being the best choice for bird hunting. It's strong suit is when it is built on a 20 gauge frame rather than the heavier 12. A 6 - 6.5 lb 16 is a joy to hunt with.
