Jack, please read the last sentence of that quote of mine you chose. Did you notice the word "TYPICALLY" in there. As Ted tried to explain, your Bernadelli isn't meaty but it's hardly typical either.

Incidentally, this maker is known for some very nice lightweight doubles. The 12 ga grouse/wc gun I mentioned above is a Bernadelli and just a tad over 6 lbs; in the field I usually have 7/8 oz in the right bbl and 1.0 oz in the left.

Also, if you did decide to give that little twenty a steady and copious diet of 3" magnums, which do you think would give out first: your shoulder or the stock?
