I was a member of the 16ga.com board long before this board. I have enjoyed them both.

I hunt and target shoot with a 16 ga SLE, I only own the other gauges because of inheritance, or the engraving matched my primary 16.

All gauges have their uses and places, my favoring 16 is a matter of taste not an inherent superiority of one gauge over all others. Às much as I hate to admit this when when advising younger hunters I point them to medium weight 12 ga as a starter gun.

Save the 16 for when the uplands have hooked you
