I appreciate your comments. I manage some farm property very near the Cebola Wildlife refuge. I have never hunted the river, but I have taken my share of honkers, ducks, pheasants, doves, and quail, here in Imperial Valley and the Salton Sea area over the years. I think your right, the two things that would overcome the considerable weight of this gun would be the romantic idea of hunting with a 129-year-old shotgun and the adrenalin rush of having a flock of honkers drop in on a spread of decoys. Regards, Ed
