I read your post and initially thought that your question was intended to mean what would the difference in recoil be? Am I correct on that or are you asking something else? Pardon my slow learning tendency.

Mike
the difference in what? i might expect the larger bore to pattern better- but frame size and weight would have no effect on that equation recoil? same load, same velocity, in the same weight gun will have the same actual recoil but any difference in dimensions could affect felt recoil

In theory, and probably in reality, the shorter shot string of the 12 on birds/clays where one has to pull a lead results in more pellets on the target. The longer shot string of a smaller bore with the same amount of shot means the target has moved on before the tail end of the string reaches the target.

From a practical standpoint there is not a nickels difference in shooting qualities between the two. The sixteen would most likely be heavier. I have both in the configuration you mentioned and the twelve weighs 6/8 and the sixteen 6/11. The sixteen carries easier with the smaller barrels but once again, not a practical difference.

More Apples to Apples. I Have a Beretta 687 O/U with two sets of barrels . 12 & 20 length weight and balance identical. Shooting 7/8 oz loads 12 or 20 it easy to forget which barrels are on the gun. In theory the 12 ought to pattern better than the 20 never checked to see.
On the other hand have Trojans 16 & 20 that are near identical. 16 weighs 2 oz. more & LOP is 1/4 inch shorter than the 20. With 3/4 oz loads felt recoil is less with the 20. LOP must be the difference. Felt recoil is subjective though somebody else likely different . William |

If all other aspects of both guns are the same, I would wager the 12g. to weigh less.

I guess what I am asking is, all things being equal, would one gauge have an advantage over the other?

The 16 would probably be considered more desirable because fewer were made. But sure would like to have a nice 26" barreled, straight stocked 12 for birds!
