So true Deano. I had a Franchi o/u 20 that was light as a feather and was a fantastic quail gun. But it literally beat the snot out of me. Of course that was long before I discovered 3/4oz loads.
By the way Harold, I kinda like Polychoked guns. A few years ago I bought a M12, solid rib 12 with 30"full and a 26" with the adjustable polychoke. I need to shoot it more often, after all it is a classic in it's own right.
