The pre-war, 1931 Sauer 16 26" I just picked up has almost as skinny forend as they come and weighs 5lb 11oz. A Garbi 1966 boxlock 12ga, 27 7/8" tubes, POW, semi-beavertail that I have weighs 5lb 14oz. Wouldn't have much trouble with those in the woods.

I do prefer a close hugging semi bt. even with my English heritage.


Don't sacrifice the future on the altar of today
