Currently have 5 16 gauge sxs. One Merkel 122E (very hard to find gun), one Fox A grade (5 lb 10 oz), Two Fox Sterlingworth (30 and 32") and a Parker CH (1 frame) 28". The heaviest is the Parker. The Merkel is built on a true 16 gauge frame. 28" barrels and weight dead on 6 lb 7 oz.

I like them more then any other gauge. Interestingly enough, after swearing off on 12 gauge sxs, I now have 4 in the inventory. Can't figure how these things keep multiplying.

All the above said, my go to grouse gun is a Sterlingworth 20 gauge ejector with a beavertail. Looks weird, but man can I shoot that gun well. Its heavy for 20 with the beavertail. 6 lb 7 oz.
