I was a one gun 12ga o/u shooter for a long time. Then I got a 20ga Parker VHE. Last time I took the 12ga afield I thought I was swinging a shovel. I now have another 20 I bought specifically for clays and it is 6lbs 5oz. The 20ga with 1oz loads worked well on S.D. pheasants, and everything else I have hunted. I much prefer a muzzle easy to move quickly. By the way, I passed 70 this year and the shooting is just fine. The group I shoot clays with are all younger 12ga, premounted gun guys. I shoot low gun and most of them have a goal of one day beating the 20ga.
