I personally would pick the Winchester Super x-3 feild shotgun in 12 & 20 gauge.
20 ga early in the season, 16 ga later when the leaves fall and longer shots are more common. as for brand, my 20 ga is a remington 870, and my 16 ga is a side by side stevens 5100.
I use a Browning Citori 12 ga and a Beretta Silver Pigeon 28 ga O/U. If you shoot a 28 very much take up reloading as the ammo is expensive.
For upland hunting I recommend a 870 in 12 ga with rem chokes or an old double in 16 ga. Mine are the 870 with 22" barrel an The Fulton by Hunter Arms.
12 and 20 gauge. A 28ga. is just to small for a shot at anything that is over like 20yards. I myself a a fan of the 16ga.
I'm mainly talking pheasants here... I like the 870 12 gauge and secondly a 20 gauge Rem 1100.
12, 20
That is a tough question, and it depends on the cover and terrain, and whether you're hunting in woods. In woods, there's no need for the weight and recoil (range) of a 12 gauge. I would use the lightest 20 gauge in the world that is a reliable repeater. The Benelli Ultralight 20 gauge. For wide-open spaces, I would use the Benelli Vinci. So what if it takes longer to get lined up? And it recoils like a 20.
Agreed with bigjake and + 1 for you sir!!!
