While not much compared to some of you, I have owned about 25 shotguns in my life. Given away 2, sold 2, still have the rest. I have only had two new guns. One, a new 870 Wingmaster 12 gauge given to me by my father when I was about 20 and I bought a new Citori 16 in 2004. Every other gun was used when I acquired it. About 17 are SxS, 12 of which are 12 gauge. The rest are 16 gauge. Besides the SxS's, the only other shotguns I have bought are Winchester Model 12's. One 12 gauge and one 16 gauge. With the exception of the M12's, all the rest are pre WWII.
I'm 55 and in good health and in good shape. I run four to five miles at least 4 times a week. So far weight of the gun has not really factored into my choices. Only sub gauge I'm drawn to is 16, but that is because it's the only gauge my dad used. He was a "one gun" kind of hunter. A M12.
