Guys, in your opinion, based on experience, what would be the best choke combo in a 16ga. O/U for wild pheasants in South Dakota? I.C./Mod., I.C./I.M., or Lt.Mod./I.M.? I will be shooting mainly 5 & 6 shot, 4's if necessary.
Anyone use one of these as their pheasant gun? If so, how do you like it? I have a chance to buy a brand new left handed one with 26" barrel for a very good price. I don't really need another left hand 12ga. semi-auto as I have a 1100, 1187 Premier Light Contour, and a Benelli M-1, all left...

Anyone use a 12 ga. Ithaca 37 for pheasants? If so, how do you like it? I have one made in 1959 with a 28" mod. barrel I am taking to S.D. this year along with a 16 ga. made in 1949 with a 28" mod. barrel. Just wondering what the recoil of the 12 ga. is like with 1&1/4 oz. 3&3/4 dram loads of...
