I'm surprised my friend RCC hasn't chimed in...
Weight is one thing, but not the only thing. There is the fact that .662 is just more svelte than .729.
You, nor can many of us,read without cheaters, our eyesight is so bad.
I don't believe you can see a .060 difference from a foot and a half (cheek on stock) to several feet (gun in crook of arm)no matter what you say, my fine friend.
And once again, I have and can continue to find much finer light 12s than 16s of equal quality. I have found and own three really nice 16s, but no less than ......well a whole lot more fine light 12s.
BTW Lloyd3, my favorite Upland gun is a 5 pound 9 ounce 12 bore Lindner FW with 2.5 chambers and there is not a 16 in existence that is any deadlier on pheasants across the Northern Plains.
