I would keep my grandfathers 16 ga Vh which I had DelGrego rebuild about 8 years ago. Nice sweet 16 and the first gun that I doubled on grouse one early Saturday morning in Westwood, Mass. at age 17 and 3 hrs prior to a football game. If my coach only knew I was bird hunting prior to our games he would have been unmerciful! This is also the same gun that killed my grandfather while he was skeet shooting on his farm inn Hookset/Bow New Hampshire in 37'. The gun recoiled and struck him smack on the nose and rather than bleed out, he bled internally. Died the next day. This gun passed to my Dad and then to me upon his passing of Lou Gherig's disease. This gun stays in the family.
