I have always had a fondness for the 16 gauge. The last gun that I would ever part with is the slightly used, Ithaca Model 37 I obtained as a kid. I saved up for it and my dad filled out the paperwork (I was only 16), but I paid for it.
The last couple of seasons I have fallen for the 28 gauge, mainly because I lucked into a gun with a cast-on stock that fits and I shoot really well. It is my current Woodcock gun and did better on Grouse than I expected.
The 16 gauge is still relevant and a joy to own and shoot, provided it is an actual 16 and not a 16 gauge barrel on a 12 gauge frame.
