I handled a 20 gauge Nitro that must have been 7 lbs at the range a while back. The 12s all seem to be heavy. I wonder if the factory figured the folks buying the guns were apt to feed them the heaviest loads they could buy?
My 16 Nitro is 6lbs, 2ozs, seems about a perfect compromise for the use it gets from me. I sure like dragging that old guy out.

Best,
Ted
