[QUOTE="jpndave, post: 1750413, member: 5437"] That one is a sweetheart, 6lbs. even, my favorite possession by far, made in 1912. Someday I will get the overhaul upgrade makeover done. I have a perfect piece of English Walnut just waiting... I think the 16 is perfect for pheasants. It is big enough to hit hard and nice to carry and fast to pull up. If you get a 16, try and pick something up on a smaller frame. The small fox is actually sized best as a 16ga. The 12 is a larger size. I think the Browning is a downsized 12ga. Still cool but not the dainty size a 16 deserves IMO. I am eyeing a pair of O/U in 12 and 28. I won't get the Browning 28 as it is built on a 20 gauge frame, no point then as I'd just get a 20. Beretta is on a smaller frame for the 28. 5 shot I find as the perfect compromise, best of both worlds. Hits like a 4 but more density like a 6. If I am shooting 4 or 6 shot I'll often carry 6 shot in the right and 4 in the left barrel. [/QUOTE]
