Skeet, I grew up with a Model 12 in my hands, 12 gauge. I think I am going to like the 16 gauge better because of the balance. Actually, I feel the 28 inch barrels balance better than the 30s, and I am currently looking around for a 12 gauge with 28" modified. I think that should be a heck of a pheasant gun. You said a Beretta feels like a fence post to you and I bet you had a 30 inch gun. I shoot a 686 Perdiz with 28" barrels for hunting, skeet and sporting clays. I like the balance, and I can shoot it rather well. The 16 gauge also has 28" modified barrel. The first time I shot it was on a skeet field, and I shot a 22 international style. I felt it had potential for birds. They are all fun when we have time. Popplecop, I don't think we see as many scattergun shooters here because of the other shotgun forums. I look at Trapshooters.com every couple days, but it used to be better.
