A long time ago, probably 35+ years now I was in a phase where I was convinced the answer to the ideal grouse gun was light weight. I purchased a GH 20 with 26" barrels primarily because it weighed only 6 pounds. It was a miserable gun to shoot for many reasons and was about as far from an ideal grouse gun as I could get. It went down the road after 1 season. Still believing that light was the answer I put out a pile of money for a Purdey 20 thinking that surely anything that costs that much must be good. That Purdey turned out to be one of the worst I ever had. Fortunately, both were sold for more that I paid for them so my lessons were not expensive, just time consuming. Eventually I got somewhat smarter.
