I got my RBL-12, just as I ordered it, and didn't like the 32-inch vent ribbed barrel, beavertail foreamed, 8 pound 14.5 ounce beast one bit. I traded it back to Lou and he got me a straight grip, double trigger, 30-inch barrel, RBL-12 on the light frame that weighs 7 pounds 4.9 ounces. Suits me much better. By the time I got it, I had really settled into my RBL-16 at 6 pounds 14.8 ounces as my go to hunting gun, and I've only shot clay targets with the RBL-12.
