Thanks for the replies. Good comments. I just like the idea of using light 12ga loads (7/8 or 1oz) in a gun that is as light as most sub bores.
What is the relative cost of these light weights to a regular weight gun of same type and quality?
I've never owned a British gun, but my 30" 12ga Lefever [seen below[ at 6.6lbs was relatively inexpensive, but it was in rough shape when I got it and I've put a lot of work into it. It's a death ray on pheasants (I've yet to miss one with it), which has upped its value to me considerably, even though I generally prefer non-original guns that I can customize.
