RBL-16, straight grip, double triggers, 4x wood choked ic and mod.
Doesn't look like this any more. I took a tumble out in the scab rock Tuesday after ditch chickens and the RBL-16 took the worst of it. Couple of big gouges on the right side near the head of the stock and some scratches on the right barrel and the trigger guard. |

| How about we include weight in this poll? What's your 16ga RBL weigh? |

SK / M
6 - 3/4 lbs. (splinter, straight grip, CSMC bores out the stock on orders specifying buttplate)
I think all the RBL 16s were made with 29" barrels? |

My 16ga weighs 6,12. It came through with 28" barrels choked IC/Mod (on request). It's a pleasure to carry afield.

Mine is choked IC and IM. The gun has been used on one pheasant hunt, we brought home 9 birds. Three guys hunting with two dogs. The RBL is smooth to use and OK to carry.

Mine is a grouse gun. SK1/SK2 at 6# 8oz w/ the buttplate.
Balance is just a touch forward.

My RBL 16 is 6# 3 Oz. A previous post got me curious to look under the BP. No hollowing out on mine. Balance is 1/8" ahead of the pin. This gun has become the go to hunting gun that I had hoped it would be. Partridge, woodcock and pheasant so far this season.
I have removed the ejector springs and strikers, they were a few grams over one ounce if anyone wants to know. I don't like them in a hunting gun and would have ordered the gun without them given the option. I need to have a small bit of TIG done to the "extractor" rod(s) to raise the shells a bit more. That can wait until winter.
