I shoot a Parker 20 that weighs six pounds, even. No recoil pad and 3" drop at heel. She's a little nasty with 1 oz loads but not so bad I wouldn't put one in the left barrel. I can shoot clays with her with 7/8 oz loads and it's not unpleasant at all. My other 20 is an Italian o/u that weighs 6 lbs, 4 oz. It has a pad, 2 1/2" drop at heel and overbored barrels. It is noticeably more comfortable to shoot. I am inclined to use it more at lengthy target sessions but still with 7/8 oz of shot.
Bottom line: If you want to shoot 1 oz loads in high volume, get a 16 or a 12. The 20 is fine for the standard load it was made for and the odd 1/8 oz cheat.
