Question on Factory 28 gauge barrels

[Fishtail]

When I read about our troops carrying 60lbs. worth of gear into battle, I have a hard time understanding how a grown man could get worked up over 5 ounces. I'm usually so happy to be in the field I don't even notice what I'm wearing or carrying.

Thanks Russ...I rest my case...

God Bless our troops, they are young men carrying all that stuff. When I was 20 I was taught to downhill ski with full gear including my M16.

I'm 60 nearing 61 and I'm carrying enough extra weight as it is so a saveing of a half pound in the Grouse cover is appreciated.

English game guns are light weight affairs. I have a H&H 20 w/26 inch barrels that weighs 5lbs 12oz and a Charles Boswell 20 w/28 inch barrels thats only 5lb 6oz. I think my VHE 28 w/28 inch bbls weighs more than either one. If I were to buy another 0 frame gun it will be either a 16 or a 20 as an 0 frame 28 defeats the purpose of the 28 IMHO.
