My late father-in-law shot a 12ga Model 11, and very well. The only gun I ever knew my father to shoot is a 16ga Savage 775a, also built on that patent. I finally passed that gun on to my nephew last year. Like many here I just love old shotguns, though I don't own any but SxS's and a couple of SBTs. As a 16ga fan I've toyed with a Sweet 16 once or twice but never took the plunge.
