Charlie,
I'm not sure if it was a northeast grouse hunting thing or what but I have seen quiet a few guns just as you described up in this area. They are fast handling and a joy to carry. The IC/Full chokes and double triggers work well in the thick cover. My current two favorite bird guns are a 26" O framed 16 gage at 6#s and a 26" 1 frame 12 gage at 6#s 4oz.
