I admit that I'm addicted to 16s and they are my gauge of choice for all upland birds.
A smattering of my addiction. All used on wild birds with great results:
1. Cogswell and Harrison back action 30 inch Damascus barreled gun that weighs under 6 lbs.
2. GH Damascus O frame. 6 lbs. 3 oz with original cylinder/modified chokes.
3. CSMC XE with 29" barrels that weighs 5 lbs. 13 oz.
4. AyA No. 2. 6 lbs. 8 oz. Great on wild pheasants with heavier loads.
5. AH grade with 28 inch barrels. A No. 1 frame gun that weighs 6 lbs. 3 oz.

Nice Garry, an AH 1 frame 16 with 28" barrels at such a light weight. The stuff that dreams are made of, sweet ! My go to pheasant crusher is a VHE 16 with 32" barrels, did you expect anything less  It's got a lot of wear but it's a solid gun mechanically with a lot of choke and I shoot it well most days. At 6-11 it's heavy by most folks standards but I don't mind it and our pheasant/sharpie hunts are not usually grinding marathons. I have only 2 other 16's and both are DHE's with 32" barrels. One on a 1 frame and the other a 1 1/2 frame which is over 7 pounds and a delight on the clays course. Happy hunting all !!
