Actually a 16 is a good gauge..However..there are very few quality shells made for it anymore..to qualify..you can get good ammo..I even have some..but it is hard to find at any stores. Waterfowl loads are very hard to find and slug loads are pretty much limited to Foster slugs. If the price is right buy it..but for 250 bucks you can buy a 12 or 20 870 express new that will be easier to buy ammo for and as much fun to shoot. I really recommend a 12.
Hey we're back up...Uhhh
