I own a couple of 16 bore shotguns. I really like a 16 and as the old saying goes, the 16 carries like a 20, but kills like a 12. The perfect upland gun IMHO. In answer to your question, I think they are getting a little more popular but I don't have any statistics to back that up. I wish they were cheap because I'd like to have a Holland or Purdey 16 but they seem very high priced to me. :-(

Socialism is almost the worst.
