I hunted for years with a Stevens 311 16 ga SXS. It's in storage now (I'm in the military, stationed in Germany); finally got my licenses, etc. and can now legally own firearms here. Have just recently picked up an Akah Greif 16 ga O/U. Haven't hunted anything with it other than clay pigeons on trap range, but it will see some extensive use in the field. I normally shoot strictly reloads, but again, I am now in Germany and am still waiting for a class to be offered so I can get my powder license.
