I have a older Charles Daly Miroku (Japan made mid 60's) over and under in 28 gauge bored skeet and skeet. I also have a pair of Remington 11-48, 28 gauges, also bored skeet. All three of these guns weigh in at exactly 6 lbs. 0 ozs. A pleasure to carry all day. Over pointing dogs....nothing better for pheasants, quail, huns, and chukars. Of course you're shooting fairly quickly out to 15-25 yards.

Forgot to mention....actually have used one of the 11-48's over decoys. Instant death. But then again as I mentioned above, shooting out to 15-25 yards, which I generally shoot at ducks over decoys anyway. Nice thing about skeet choke...you can be off slightly in your aim, and they still go down.
One other thing.....a box of 28 gauge shells in your vest ways about same as 7 or 8 12 gauge shells. Makes it nice hking all over after upland birds.

Stevens Model B Fox 12 gauge side by side and the matching .410. Those have been my bird guns since I was a kid and love them too much to shoot anything else. (Many good memories) I've also taken deer and coyotes with them as well.

That's a good one. I have one in 16 gauge that shoots 2 9/16 paper shells, ever heard of that? I only have 24 shells for it. I love A5's.

I use a Beretta 686 onyx O/U in 20 gauge. Its great for all upland game, because it is so light and quick. And I'm going to see how it work for ducks too.

Browning auto 5. Browning auto 5 and Browning auto 5.
Light weight A-5, Mag A-5, Citori, Mossburg 500, Mossburg 500, all in 12 ga. I like them all. The last two are beat up 'cause they were our Alaskan fishing guns (short barrells, no plugs,)

Ruger O/U 20g for uplands and Ruger O/U Stainless synthetic 12g for waterfowl. Used the 20 for ducks for a long time but was seeing too many geese and figured the 20 was to light for that big of a bird. The 20 knocked the Heck out of the ducks over decoys.
