Perhaps I'm missing something here. RBL guns, I thought were to be "classic field side by side guns", yet now I'm hearing 12 gauge 9+ pound guns in this topic. Even more bizarre is the 32" barrels, and now being used for sporting clays. I think one should start by shooting classic SXS field guns and "discover" what a classic field gun feels and handles like, why they are and always will be a classic style of gun. Newbies in the SXS sporting clay sport owe it to themselves to discover what the "classic handling characteristics" are all about.
