    Push the top lever to the right and open the barrels. With the forearm off you can lift the hooks off from the action bar. Reverse to join the barrels back on. To close you may need to move the top lever to the right. It makes cleaning easier to remove the barrels. Interesting that the gun is...

    The barrel will indicate if the chokes are Invector (most likely) or Invector +. Did it come with any chokes and wrench?

    Why Do You Troll?

    On Aeneas I’ve used power trolling to trigger strikes in the north end of the lake. Cast out a full sink, give it a slow ten count, then row as fast as I can. I got dozens of hits doing that…😀

    16 bore ammo can be hard to find in given shot sizes. I reload my 16’s in whatever I want. If you still brew we could make a trade…just saying…

    @Guy Gregory brings up a very valid point. Shotgun fit is important. The right drop at heel and length of pull is critical to a good cheek weld. Nothing beats being able to shoulder a gun to see if it fits and buying online is a crap shoot. One can always check one out at a Cabelas…

    @Evan B , both Invector and Invector + chokes can be had if one is missing on a used gun.

    They’re hard to beat, make sure it has interchangeable chokes and it’s very versatile. Never a glitch with either one, the 16 is a great grouse gun. I bought a short barrel for the 12 for turkey…

    IMHO, to stay close to your budget look at the Mossberg 500. Accuset chokes, twin action bars, 3” chamber. If you can’t kill it with 2 3/4” ….well, you know. $545.00 MSRP
