I saw a citori lightning in 16 gauge yesterday that I liked. I would be using the shotgun for pheasant and dove hunting. Any feedback for the 16? Also the citori has a 26" barrel.
To clarify...is the 16 gauge basically a 3" 20 gauge as far as shot and ballistics go?
The loads for game guns are as follows: 12ga 1&1/8oz, 16ga 1oz and 7/8oz for 20ga. Light 20 weighs 5&3/4lbs to 6lb, 16 about 6&1/4lbs and 12ga 6&1/2lbs. Given availability of 12ga game loads from 2" to 2&3/4" the 20ga and 16ga guns aren't worth considering even for elderly or inexperienced shooters.And the three inch twenty kick's like a mad mule.
