Ordered a 16ga Zeus around the first of the year and received it last week.
So far I'm well pleased, hope to shoot it this weekend.
Flat rib, single trigger, case color, full coverage engraving, 29" barrels, POW stock,
grade 4 wood, extractors, gold 16 on rib.

Note rib says 3inch. Why?
Are there any modern 3in 16 ga shells?
If not, what's the advantage of the longer chamber? |

I didn't order it that way, just the way it came.
I will never shoot a 3" shell, even if they are available. |

Now that you've had your Zeus for awhile what's your thoughts about it? Grip comfortable? Trigger?
Thanks |

| Looks great! Did you check the proof stamps.? I suspect that to get CIP with fleur de lis it needs to be choked mod or less. Not sure if people ordering with choke tubes are getting the CIP fleur de lis. I have a Mythos 16/20 ga set with the CIP fleur de lis in both sets. Both are fixed I/C, MOD. Did you get the 28ga? |

I know nothing about proof stamps.
I did get the 28ga and I'm enjoying it as my quail gun this season. |
