I'm not a 12 ga fan but I love my Purdey light game gun. 28 inch barrels choked IC/M. I use RST 2 inch 15/16 load and it patterns very well with no gaps. A great light (6 LBS ) gun perfect for all the upland hunting I do.

Rich ,a 6lb 12ga Purdey with 28" barrels sounds about perfect to me for grouse and woodcock shooting, I find 5 1/2 lbs too light but 6 to 6 1/2 lbs just about right.

It is about as perfect as a gun can be. It's the only 12 I hunt with
