To add in my two cents worth as I am the owner of a 16 gauge RBL (straight grip and splinter), I will say that I am very pleased with this shotgun. It is now my main choice for pheasant hunting and has performed really well in the field. My gun weighs with the shorter of the two supplied recoil pads 6 lbs. 10 oz. and I find this weight is very good for balance and carrying. The thicker pad adds 3 oz. and would be my choice for using the RBL for trap shooting. All in all I think I made a real smart choice when I ordered this shotgun; I'd recommend these guns highly.
