Haven't needed anything else in recent years.
The old Stevens 530A SxS 12 ga. (1953) with mid-barrel white bead forms that perfect figure eight with the muzzle white bead when shouldered quickly and usually drops the bird no matter what I'm wearing.
Waterfowl need a little more "reach" so the Ithaca 12 ga M-37 (1962) gets out there a little better and also use to be more than sufficient.
Haven't been out for ducks in a long time, but still enjoy both shotguns, and both were utility grade guns in their day, so never broke the bank either.
