Hey fellas,
I'm pretty sure this has been posted before but what the heck....

Who out there, in our small corner of the interweb, owns and shoots ONLY 16ga guns. (rifles and handguns omitted naturally).

I've almost pulled it off, but I can't seem to shake keeping one 20ga and one 12ga. I'm reconsidering that though, as I simply don't get to hunt and shoot as much as I'd like too, ever. So I figure why not just 16ga everything, since I enjoy it so thoroughly.

Interested in the replies....

I already have my own reply...

I have 2 12ga guns and 2 20ga guns...not just 1 each...I'm already letting myself down.

I'm down to two 12ga guns. First is a BPS waterfowl type finish. Second is a Browning Gold, that used to be a clays gun. I have not shot either in 5+ years.

The wife has a few 20ga's.

Other than that it's 16, of course. And if this season has taught me anything, I could sell them all , keep my Uggie, and still be a very happy man.

My wife has and shoots 12 and 20 but 16 gauge is all I own and shoot in shotgun. I shoot 300 to 400 rounds per week between trap and sporting clays. My wife claims if browning would make a hi rib trap 725 in 16 gauge she would switch to 16 gauge.

Love of shotguns transcends love of the 16 gauge. That said I just shoot 12's and 16's. The 16's in my lineup are my "lil' gun."

No- too many beautiful Auto-5's made in other gauges to ignore.

The 16 is a great gun, but not the only one.
I use 12,16 and 20 for pheasants.
Ducks and geese 12 ga only
Doves, 410, lots of 28s, 20 and 16.
Sporting clays, 20, lots of 16 and 12 ga. Very Happy

I'm almost always toting a 16, but in a couple weeks I'm heading west for the last pheasant outing of the season, without a 16ga in tow Embarassed ! I have a new (to me) 20ga A grade Fox that I hope to get on a few quail, and I've decided to take my "big gun" (a Sterlingworth 12 that often gets neglected) and some 1-1/4ozers for those far-flushing late season roosters.

I don't shoot a 16 gauge often, but when I do, it's the only thing that I shoot.

Shooting only 16 ga would not be my idea of enjoying all guns, I have most all, and shoot them all.

Why would anyone limit them selves in any way, if their were options?

This is the 16 ga society, not a cult. Wink
