Home Forums Birds & Dogs Shotguns Anyone else think the 16 gauge is the perfect gauge?

I thought I might try that, bought a nice model 12 and a case of shells. I realized that a 20 does carry like a 20 and still kills stuff dead. A 12 still kills like a 12 and I don't have to look for 16 gauge shells.

You would be surprised at how nice an English12 gauge carries with 2 1/2 inch chambers at 6 1/2 pounds. It still kills great and is easy on the shoulder...
