nice gun...i do not have a heavy 12 ga but my thoughts on themare this...i figure they were ordered in heavy weight for a duck or goose gun...the extra weight was to tame recoil...some of them old black powder shells wererough on the shoulder and them old duck hunters shot a lot more than we do today...when shooting almost straight up a heavy gun can be a blessing...these are my thoughts.... charlie
