We need to know more about the loads. You'll never find a #2 frame 16.

Really ! I beg to differ I had a quite nice one with 32” barrels a DH as a matter of fact . It worked nicely at sporting clays but even better at tower shoots in VA and MD ! If memory serves that gun was 39 thousandths in both barrels .

I'd like to get my hands on that one! One of the best decoyed duck guns we ever had was a 16 ga. Winchester M21 bored CYL and MOD, 28" barrels and I think it weighed in at just over 7 lbs.

Craig, should I have stated "You'll never find a #2 frame 16 that is for sale." I have an even better choice, a #3 frame 16, but it's not for sale.

Whether yours is “better” than the one I had remains to be seen . What you think feels or fits well may not to me and vice versa .
