I had a pair of 16 gauge 30” top levers one was a Grade 0 on a 1 frame and the other was a Grade 2 on if memory serves an 0 frame . The 0 frame had more drop than I wanted but the other I shot well sad to say I never carried it hunting . Had four top lever 12’s a 28” a pair of 30” and a 32” I never got overly enthralled in them . Now I do have a 2 frame 0 grade two barrel 10 gauge 26” and 30” of which I used the 26” barrels on a quail deal one day shooting ounce handloads and I liked it . I’ve also used a 3 frame grade 2 top lever restock 10 gauge 32” on tower shoots several times and I like it quite a lot . I might add I e used a 7 frame 0 grade top lever 36” 8 gauge for maybe a two dozen shots at a couple tower shoots and it did nicely . Picture below was at the first peg I ever used the 8 gauge , that was the only peg I shot it that day I also had another gun so I put the 8 in someone’s car and continued on with a different gun .
