I started my hunting career with my father providing me with a 16 gauge, pump, Ithaca Model 37 with a poly-choke. I hunted everything with that gun for a number of years. I then got into the 12 and 20 gauges. I recently got back into the 16 gauge using my father's old 16 gauge, sxs, Charles Daly, Empire Model that was made in Italy. I used it this Spring shooting chukars on a game bird preserve for the dogs and shot it well (being a left - handed shooter it helped that it is a neutral stock). Anyway, I decided I'd treat myself to a left-handed (cast-on) stocked shotgun and ordered the 16 gauge, Rizzini Aurum with 28 inch barrels. Looking forward to using it this fall for grouse and woodcock.

Thanks Mike

I put my post in the wrong area and meant to post in "16 ga General Discussion" or "16 ga Gun". I'll pay closer attention to the post category next post.

Welcome back to the 16 ga. When you get your new gun, please post some pictures for us. We all love our gun porn.

Welcome aboard.

I'd sure like to hear more about your new gun and how you like it.

Thanks,
Lon

I'll be sure to post an update on the new 16 GA. Rissini and pictures. I ordered it from Rissini USA in Utah so I should get it in about three weeks to a month.
