So buy the gun that fits your ideal in terms of weight distribution, even if it's a 7lbs 20ga. Craig
"Weight between my hands"...perfect way to explain it. Last fall I traded a member of this forum for a 1-frame, 16 g, that weights 6.10. Admittedly that number looks a little heavy for a 16 g grouse gun, but it doesn't feel that heavy because of the distribution.

Chosing a 16 v a 20 is primarily a personal preference.
