In upland the 12's ability to handle a bigger payload isn't much advantage , I like a lighter gun say not more than 6 3/4 lbs and a slimmer grip and forend . I say get what feels and fits you best as either one will work

Well that's not saying much, I mean you only shoot about 17,000 birds a year and all....

Profanity is the crutch of the illiterate mind.
It is good to live in a depraved time, as one can appear virtuous at little cost.
Just remember......Theres no need to fear....Unnnderdog is here!!! Well, scrappy anyway.....

It's true I am a shotgunaholic and shoot all gauges , for most upland I prefer a 16 gauge however I have a couple of 12's and 20's
