There is a new 16 Gauge in town...The Longthorn. You can get it in something new...all titanium barrels and they are machined out of one piece. Or you can go traditional steel...Still all one piece..
After shooting one. And talking with Mike and his wife. Longthorne has taken shotguns to a level never seen before. IMO nothing comes close! Stunning Guns.

Respectfully - in what way? How are they better than a Krieghoff, Perrazi, Kemen, or Kolar?
Strength. The way the gun locks up. Mike said the first rebuild would be between 150.000 and 200.000 rounds. Zero barrel vibration. Trigger is amazing. Recoil is very lite. After shooting a Perrazzi for 30 years and well over a half million rounds rebuilds and annual maintenance sure adds up. At the present time I’m shooting a Blazer F3. Both the Perazzi and F3 are great guns but not in the league of the Longthorn

Can I shoot yours when it comes in? I'll even compromise and travel south of the line to do so!!!!
Kind of ask the same question sometime ago on here. Seems the 16 is to a 16 is to a 12 what a 28 is to a 20. And I love me a 28 gauge. Never shot or owned a 16. But I ain't dead yet and I love buying guns
Have 3 16 ga shotguns, an old 1968 Remington 870 wing master, a Browning sweet sixteen a5 from the early 90’s and a recent Browning Citori Hunter o/u , love the 16 ga.

I still have a grade III citori, and a new model A5. Both are great shotguns. Recently I picked up a Rizzini BR550 SXS. It’s a 20 ga frame gun with two barrel sets, 20 and 16 ga. Think I’m going to like it, a lot.
