docbill,
If you found a drilling "clunky" for a shotgun,I would bet "a dollar to a donut" that your experience was with a 12 ga(maybe even with long barrels in 30-06).In my limited experience with a paradox (handle only,not "use")I found it "clunky" and "muzzle heavy".I suggest, before you spend the exorbitant price of a real Paradox, you give a 16 ga drilling with 60 cm (23 1/2")barrels a try.Every time I investigated a complaint that a Drilling is "clunky",too heavy, "gawky", or "unhandy"; it turned out that the drilling they tried was a 12 ga(usually also in 30-06 or 243).
