Over the years I've done a lot of hunting with 16-gauge guns. When I still lived in Virginia I shot a lot of Doves with a 16-gauge KE-Grade Remington --

On that same farm I had a great pass where this 32-inch barrel A-Grade Ansley H. Fox was quite the performer --

While I very seldom hunt with a pump or autoloader, one day I took out a 1938 vintage Remington Sportsman 16-gauge. The first Rooster up I missed cleanly three shots. Later that day Skitso went on point right at the edge of a bluff. Three Roosters took off into clear blue sky 60 or 70 feet above a stubble field, and I shot the only triple of my life.

Late years my go to gun when I need to used non-toxic shells when upland hunting on public land, my RBL-16 gets the nod --

I don't own a Parker Bros. 16-gauge. Likewise, I don't own a late Remington Parker Gun. A 16-gauge with open choke barrels in the 241xxx/242xxx range could find a space in my gun room!!
