Westley Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 I have just bought a Geezer Cerini thing, that is 20 bore, 32" barrels and weighs in at 6 3/4lbs. I have only put some 30 rounds through it at clays, but it shoots OK and is a nice gun to shoot. I bought it for the coming season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimtrout Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 stuck mine on the scales, its just under 7lbs. that is with extended briley chokes and a fair sized extension on the stock. I am 6ft 2 so needed to extend the stock a fair amount. 8 hours ago, button said: You interested in selling? Not yet.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Boggy Posted June 27, 2020 Report Share Posted June 27, 2020 I think the weight of a 20g must be a personal thing as some prefer the Browning/Miroku weighing around 7lbs whereas others prefer the weight of a Beretta at just over 6lbs. My 20g Macnab Highlander weighs just 6lbs and I shoot 28g RC Sipes with no adverse recoil and find it pleasant to shoot. I would not wish, nor need to shoot 32g through it though. Still interested to know who else makes a 16g (my favourite gauge) other than Lincoln or Chapuis weighing around 6 1/2 lbs.

Zimtrout Posted June 27, 2020 Report Share Posted June 27, 2020 (edited) One thing I am not a fan of is the prevalence of the prince of Wales stocks on 16s, I have big hands and find them very uncomfortable. Oddly I love my straight hand stock. I think that might be due to learning to shoot with a straight hand stocked side by side.
