shotgun: O/U vs SA vs pump

[nynor]

i have started hunting upland game birds. i've been using my friend's mossberg 500. i'll be buying a shotgun in the near future.

what is the pelican trust's opinion on the type of shotgun for hunting upland game?

thanks,

d.

Whenever I go hunting sage grouse in WY, I use an over/under.

Why? It works for me. Shrug.

[craigster59]

O/U, no question.

I use my Ranger semi, just because it is insanely light and fast. I have an old side by side that works well too.

My preference runs to O/U or SxS for Upland birds.

Two shots is enough, more sporting, in my mind.

This is what I practice with:

[Hugh R]

O/U and buy a good, middle of the road one like a Browning. Replaceable chocks tubes are a nice feature as well.

[on2wheels52]

An o/u has certain advantages over the others.
Disadvantages would perhaps being more expensive and a bit heavier.
What little quail shooting I've done was with a Browning Superposed 20.

I use a Remington 1100 Sporting (autoloader) in .410 for upland birds.

20 ga. SXS or O/U. If you can't get it in two let it go. I prefer SXS myself. English stock for furniture. I had a Weatherby O/U Olympian in 20 choked skeet /skeet. Nothing got by that gun. A good o/u double? Look for a nice Winchester 101. Ya can't go wrong. Mossburg is a cheap gun flame away but I work on shotguns all day.. Also look at CZ they have both SXS and O/U. A lot of value for the price as well. There are others but these would be my choices. What do I shoot? An SKB 200E in 12 or 20. I have them both. Single barrels? Pumps..Remington 870 wingmaster or Ithaca 37. Auto? Can't beat a the tried and true Browning A5.

I have a Stroeger Condor O/U in .410. Solid piece, nothing more, nothing less. I hunt Doves with it and really enjoy it.

wanna go hungry?????????? buy an O/U or a pump(club)


you aint LIVED until you have shot a benelli SUPER SPORT vented fullchoked 30" barrel. reach out and TOUCH 'EM!

the baddest azz snotgun i have ever shot. totally idiot proof. idiot proof down to the firing pin tear down maint.


beeaatcch about spendy????????????

worlds fastest semi auto shotgun. 5rds.............3 seconds.



or just get a rem SP-10 and knock 'em down with the concussion . used on pesky canuck honkers down in the wilcox dry lake outside wilcox az.


just hit benelli.com and start drooling and peeling the benji's(hundert dollar bills)
off.



YOU WILL THANK ME I PROMISE!

[ODDJOB UNO]

this is the benelli SBE kuzzin. this is mr M-1 hk/benelli 21" barrel. this is what mr. bad guy gets to meet at my house.

mr. M-2 benelli is even cooler i just cant find a pic yet. hes only 18" long, so mr M-2 wont hurt mr bad guy as much. its much more politically ko-wrecked.

note: vented rib and turkey sight on mr M-1 HK/BENELLI. mr M-2 is kind of like tacti-kool, all sorts of picatinny rail stuff and pistol grip and extended mag tube. total hoot when the dove quail zombeez are attacking at 5am(at dawn we attack).

[ODDJOB UNO]

whoops heres mr M-2 benelli. either mr m-1 or mr m-2 may greet mr bad guy ............ya never feeking know until i go to bed at night.


either way ya get the picture of the basic action. all it is, is a barrel change. ya can get nice/nicer/kind of nicer/mega nice/and flat out MEGA UBER BAD AZZ NICE MODELS! its all how many "hunderts" ya wanna peel off.


SUPER SPORTS along with belgium made browning autos are the katz azz as far as i am concerned. but hey WTF DO I KNOW?????????????


get off yer azz and GO SHOOT ONE!

[porsche4life]
