Take the "what gauge shotgun do you use for upland game" Poll...

[invisible man]

Usually I go to the Montifeltro for Dove opener, Once in a while I slide out the Wingmaster. I have always wanted a .410 OU for doves and Quail, so I will be in the market for one after deer season passes. In March I pull out the Mossberg 835 Ultimag. I love shot guns, all shot guns.

I love my Remi 870 20g, first gun I ever owned. My wife will use it now that I got a Beretta Outlander 12g. I'm itchin' to drop some sky rats!

 

[AirRifleHunter]

I use my Remington 870 Super Magnum in 12ga that I purchased at Fine Firearms.

I love this shotgun. I've used it for everything from dove, quail and chukar to duck. It has also taken a fair amount of cottontail and jack rabbits too.

 

[msailor]

The kid uses an 870 and I use my old Winchester 12 gauge Ranger 1300. In the pic she is used a 20 gauge and did great on her first pheasent hunt.

 

[longbowhunter2]

as kid I did work for my neighbour to trade for a 12 Gauge winchester Model 50 semi with full choke.
I still have it & still use it., It has bagged rabbits, Pheasant, quail, Dove. & Rattle snakes over the years.
it's light and fast. it only eats 2-3/4 shells. no 3.00 inch.

My latest is standard Mossberg Model 500 Pump, with Mod Choke.
it came with a security barrel. it does the job fine. it likes bunnies for breakfast, and Pheasants for lunch. hahahaha.

oops fix typo error hahahaha

I usually switch off between my 870 express 12 gauge and an old stevens 20 gauge my dad got me when I was 7 or 8 as a starter gun --- I always hated that gun when I was younger because the forearm is really thin and I would burn my fingers on the barrel sitting out in the Blythe sun, but for whatever reason I can hit practically every dove I shoot at with it!

 

[sportyg]

Mossberg ultra mag 12ga.. Want to change over to a o/u 20ga down the road.

 

[unleaded slinger]

My Benelli Supernova 12 gauge is the only shotgun I own and I use it to hunt all upland game. My 9 year old son just got his hunting license and saved up for a Mossberg 510 Mini 20 gauge and will be going out for some doves once the season hits.

John,

Great talking to you..........Small isn't it............. ;D

 

[WJones72002]

Benelli Nova 12Ga and I love it but I have a strong strange desire for a Remington 1100 16Ga.

 

[M_juttner]

For some reason the first shotgun in my safe I reach for is my jc higgins modle 20, I just love the huge muzzle break on it!!

 

[GmansGpa]

I'm currently using my Mossy 500 as my primary upland shotgun, but will follow the poll closely to see is there is a better option.
Thanks for the poll!

 

[cookieman-1]

I use ruger redlabel in 28 ga.

 

[camostevo]

870 super magnum 12 ga and my Condor SS .25 air rifle for the perched euros.

I have an update. I still use 12ga., but I recently aquired a Remington 58 and a Winchester 1200. After trying them today while training our dog, I decided to use the Remington as my primary, the Winchester for my back up and keep the Mossberg in the truck "just in case".

 

[Hale_Abels1]

I'm seeing a lot of people talking about their Benelli m2's. i have to agree on that one, I love mine. Its a 20 with a 26" perfect for just about anything I shoot, just change the load and the choke for different game and I'm ready to go. Looking to buy a SBE2 though in a 12 gauge for waterfowl, been really wanting one but don't quite have enough disposable income at the moment to buy a new one, if anyone is looking to sell theirs pm me with a price and some pics.

 

[CMPeterson]

I use a 12ga for pheasant, 20/28/410 for small upland. But I truly believe if I could have one gun for upland it would be a 28 gauge.

 

[TonyS]

1934 Ithaca Long Range 20 gauge.
