[QUOTE="bigcatpike, post: 54049, member: 1460"] I own an Ithaca Model 37m Featherlight in 16 gauge. It is a nice light gun that points very well. The only downfall that the 16 gauge has was that a 3" cartridge was never made widely available for it. With the switch to steel shot for waterfowl, 16 gauge users found that they wanted more pellets because steel doesn't kill like lead does, so they went up to a 12 gauge 3 inch or 20 gauge 3 inch because they needed more pellets to do the job. Most people don't know this, but Winchester actually chambered a 16 gauge in 3 inch and very few cartridges were made. These are prized collectors items. [/QUOTE]
