I think the few recent models mass produced where on 12 gauge frames and most everyone yawned. No one really wants a 16 gauge that weighs as much as 12 gauge. Defeats the entire purpose of having a 16 gauge in the first place. I think if Remington came out with a model 870 on a 20 gauge frame with choke tubes, newbies would like it. However, real McCoy in my opinion would be for browning to make their Citori 16 gauges on a 20 gauge Citori frame. That would make some folks pay attention I'm thinking. For me personally, the real deal would be a stateside maker come out with a 16 gauge on a 20 gauge frame. Can you imagine how many Rugers sxs would have been made if they had only come out with both a 16 and a 20 gauge sxs using the same 20 gauge frame. They would have sold a ton if their quality control was where it needed to be.
