Looking for a 20 gauge and haven't found them anywhere. If anyone has seen one at a store, let me know.

I missed out on a 16 and a 20 recently. They had been at the stores for awhile. I hummed and hawed and when I was ready to buy... typical.. both had sold. I never seem to learn that lesson: If something speaks to you, just buy it and rationalize later.

In ON, SAIL dot ca has the 20 at their Burlington and Etobicoke locations as of last Wednesday. You may wish to check their other stores too since they regularly stock that model from what I observe. May as well add, their website isn't reliable but response to product query via phone is very prompt.

Very nice. I was told that was long gone and I called! I ended up with a Beretta 20g/28" - close to the same weight.

I actually called a few times to clarify on that one because it was listed on your CGN EE page but not your web site. Anyway, as long as it has now gone to an appreciative home....

As you said, it was listed on CGN EE page, but not on their web site... so i phoned them, and Terry told me that the 16 guage was gone but he also told me because i was not the only one to ask about it, he gona check and came back to the phone with that 16 guage superlight feather in his hands... A couple of days later, i received this 16 by mail in it original boxe and 100% as new condition and unfired for sure.... Now, i need some ammo for it...

I was in the same boat a few years back and ended up with a 686 20ga even though I had been drooling over the Superlight. Haven't regretted it for a second. My 686 weighs 5lbs 14oz and is a wonderful hunting gun. I like the fact that the Berettas are just as light as the Brownings while still using a steel receiver. Makes them balance better also and less barrel heavy.

Yes. I don't feel like the Beretta was a consolation prize. The 20g 686/7 is a beautifully balanced, compact package and might better suite my needs - long hikes on the hunt for blues. Still, that 16g superlight is a sweet package and I wish I bought it too.
