I didn't think I'd like my 24" PHE 16 as well as I do, [/QUOTE]

Richard,
Being somewhat tall I never thought I would like or be able to shoot a 24" gun. Last year I purchased a nice little 6# 4oz DHE straight grip 20 gage with 26" Damascus and 24" Acme tubes. I found that for grouse and woodcock in the thick covers of New Brunswick the short tubes preformed well and the gun was a joy to carry. The gun's weight is within 1/2 oz with either set of barrels and balances right on the hinge pin. This is now my go to gun for upland game in thick cover.
