Stacy Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 Was curious to know if Benelli will make a 16 gauge and to hear from current 16 gauge owners as to whether they like the gauge or not? Currently own a M1 IN 12 GAUGE but really consider it a little heavy for long carry. I think a 16 gauge on a true 16 gauge frame would be perfect.

Littlemac Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 I haven't heard of it but I will keep my eyes and ears open. I think that a 16 gauge is the best all round for bird hunting or any hunting. But that is just my opinion. If one becomes available then I would get one in a heart beat. Good Luck.

Shotgunner Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 I think that remington is going to make a 3inch shell in 16 gauge then sell a 11-87 in 16 gauge 3 inch chamber. It would be a great gun for any field birds and clay pigeons. Benelli and beretta seem to be anti 16 gauge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fattire75 Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 I would love to see a Montefeltro or AL 48 16 gauge at 6 pounds with a 28 inch barrel. the 16 just patterns better than a 20 with 1 to 1 1/4 oz loads. a Montefeltro, Beretta 391 16 ga or Franchi 616 would be great also. The only two 16 ga worth buying new right now are the Ithaca 37 pump and brownings O/U Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
