poontang Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 is a 20gauge that much more expensive to run than a 12? if we are talking subsonics then there is very little difference between the two... they both are £210-208 per 1000. thats comparing 20gauge vs 12gauge. so that argument is slightly flawed. but so is availability of shells is the problem. i dont even think the expense is even worth calculating. unless the mrs is going to go through 10,000 shells in her first year.?? I wasn't talking subsonics, just straight forward 21g shells. There's about £40 per thousand difference between 12g and 20g cartridges, so not an insignificant sum, and they're soft enough for any shooter. Secondhand 12g guns are far easier to come by, and generally cheaper too. I don't get the 20g argument to be honest, so I'm sticking to my original advice.

HDAV Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 i was more thinking about weight of the gun, some guns are just heavy. nothing more... There are lighter 12 bored than many 20 bores, the gun needs to be well balanced and if stock is shortened balance can be well out and need adjusting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Balance and basic dimensions will be key. A well balanced gun will feel lighter than a poorly balance gun of the same weight. Most ladies need a shorter stock and higher comb than the men due to high cheek bones and longer necks.
