Agreed, having owned 2 7/8" tens, I can do all I've ever wanted to do in water fowling with my HE Fox loaded with 1 1/4 oz. of bismuth 4s. That gun was paid the ultimate compliment last season in Arkansas. I was in a blind with several friends, all of whom were shooting autoloaders and steel. I shot a big mallard drake in the rear end as he was going straight away. He hit the water, way out there, dishrag dead. My host said I had the only gun in the blind that could have made that shot. That's the kind of thing that puts the icing on the cake with these old guns.
