I carry an old Ithaca Model 37 Featherlight in 12 ga with full choke.  I like it because it's short, light enough to carry all day, ejects out the bottom and I've been carrying it since I was 14.  It just feels right.  I bought an 870 express a few years back that is great for waterfowl and turkey but is a little long and heavy for busting brush all day.  At least for me.

Mossberg 5500MKII in 12ga with Mod Choke and #4steel. Hoping i can upgrade to a SxS one day. I know it holds one less shot but to me a SxS is the quintessential upland gun.
