Got an itch that needs scratched. Always liked the 16 and have a gorgeous Ithaca 37 in 16ga that I love but I’m wanting on in an O/U. Looking at the Rizzini BR110 Limited and the Franchi Instinct Sideplate models.

Thoughts, preferences etc?
 
I'm a big Rizzini fan, I've got a Roundbody EM 28ga that I love. But one thing to know about the 16ga BR110 is that it's built on the 12ga frame. The other models like the Aurum, Artemis, Roundbody, etc are built on a 16ga frame. These models are quite a bit pricier, no surprise there.

I like Franchi's too, and I have seen a couple of the Instinct Sideplate models in Scheel's and they look great. I'm 99% sure they're built on a 16ga frame.

I'd like to run across a FAIR SLX600 in a shop someday so I could hold it and see if it fits me. There's a nice one on gunbroker right now, and they run a little under $2k.
 
When I grab a sub gauge, I sure like a more svelte feel to the gun…that’s 75% of the reason I choose to take one…many days it’s lots of carrying and a minimum of shooting…nice carrying something lighter and easier handling…
 
I have a rizzini Artemis 16 gauge it’s pretty I’d trade it out in hot second for a pretty browning white lightning in 16g
 
Browning is what I shoot
2- White lightning 16’s. 26&28 tubes
And a Gran Lightning 28in 16 which I don’t have any confidence in and don’t shoot
 
Browning White Lightning 16 here also. The Browning is built on a modified 20 ga. frame. I wouldn't even consider any 16 ga. built on a 12 ga. frame.
