It typically don't matter what the gun is, if I find a really good deal on it, I want to buy it. But I'd never go out of my way to buy a 16/20 ga. My dads buddy who owns a gun shop has always said don't spend a ton of money on a 20ga. If you are going to spend $1500 on an over and under, buy a 20 and just shoot a light load. A nice gun and a light load will kick just as nice as a 20ga.

In no way is this post trying to prevent you from buying that gun though. 16ga is a nice luxury bird gun no doubt.

I find that well proportioned, well balanced sub gauged guns (less than a 12) have a magic feel different from a 12. They tend to be lighter and point like a wand. They are a glorious thing to hold, carry and shoot…
