I have two and they are fantastic. Well, one is...the second is incoming from England and I have high hopes for it. One of my primary grouse guns is a 12 bore Norman & Sons 2.5" boxlock with 28" barrels and a 15 3/8 stock. It weighs in at 6lbs 2oz and the walls are .024/.024. Chokes are Skeet/IC. What a great carrying gun that has plenty punch and an even pattern. My new one is a London sidelock with walls .028/.028 and 1/2" shorter with chokes at 1/4 & 1/2. Can't wait to get it in hand and compare them back to back. I will get the stock extended and the case fitted, probably ready to go by this spring.
I really like the 6lbs weight to carry. I have some guns in the 6.5-6.75# range and I do notice the difference on a long day's hunt. Some might say these light 12's are whippy, but I say it depends on the gun and the circumstances of the hunt. Mine works great for the way I hunt.
