Featherweight Lindners are fantastic guns, but the Britts could build lightweights as well. I got to handle and measure a 12 bore Lincoln Jeffries last summer (w/28-inch tubes & 14 3/8 LOP) that weighed something like 5lbs10. Thomas Turner and Lincoln Jeffries competed for the "lightweight" market in England for many years and produced some remarkably light 12 bore game guns. With RST 3/4-ounce loads, these 2 1/2-inch Lightweight guns can actually throw smaller charges of shot than 2-inch 12s.
