The feel of a 10 to an 8 ?

[6pt-Sika]

I am curiouse as to how a lifter 8 gauge feels versus a lifter 10 gauge . Also interested in how the same thing for top lever hammer and hammerless guns .

I realize frame size and barrel length may very well influence .

But I suppose with all things in consideration do the different action guns balance/handle as nicely as the 10"s ?

I find my top lever hammer 10 #3 frame with 32" pipes to handle nicely although a slight touch heavy . I think the gun weighs about 10 pounds . My EH on a #2 frame with 30" pipes is about 8 3/4 pounds and handles well .
