As someone said earlier, this is always a fun topic. I have always been the odd duck in the flock, I guess, but gauge has never been a driver for me.

I have looked for and bought and use guns that first catch my eye and then just feel right. If both aren't there, I look to the next one. The last question just before "how much" is what's the gauge?

That's why there are guns of four different gauges among my safe queens.

I don't think the 16 will ever be really dead for bird hunters, ever.
