Default Merkel 1620

I lucked into a Merkel 1620 recently at a very affordable price that I wanted to show off. These 1620's are one of the nicest carrying 16's I've come across that you can shoot pretty much any modern factory ammunition through without worrying about it. This particular 1620 has a English stock and single trigger which I prefer for late season hunting with gloves in MN. The previous owner installed a Pachmayr pad that brings the gun weight to 6lbs 7oz. I'm guessing that's adding 3-4ozs to the gun. That probably isn't a bad thing when shooting 1 1/4oz loads. The chokes measure .002 and .016 and LOP with the pad is 15". I have the original butt plate also. Are there any other 1620's out there next to the Parkers in the gun safes?
