My idea on frame and weight. A gun that weights 7 1/2 to 8 swings better than any gun that weights 6 or 6 1/2. A lot skeet shooters shoot guns that weight 8 to 9 pounds. Once you get it swinging it is hard to stop. Shooting doves or duck hunting a 7 to 8 pounds is fine with me because you are not walking. But, when walking after Pheasants or sharptails I prefer something I can carry all day. Nothing over a 1 1/2 frame 12 at at 7 pounds or a 1 frame 16 at 6 1/2 or a 16 o frame or 20 ga. around 6. Dan
