I would think a 20 gauge, all other aspects being equal, would be a heavier gun than the two 16’s referenced in this thread strictly for the thicker walls at the breech end of the barrels.
But I just checked my grandson’s 20 ga. VH with 26” barrels and proved my theory incorrect. 1 ounce does not a significant difference make.
