Either my Charles Daly Miroku 28 gauge O/U....skeet and skeet, or what I used for many of my younger years ....a Remington 11-48 28 gauge bored skeet.  Behind good pointing dogs, there is no equal....lightweight, fast swinging and birds down within 25 yards....easy retrieves.  Absolute death on quail.

I used to take out my SKB 12 gauge every time.  Now my little Beretta Golden Snipe 20 gauge goes with me.  If I was still hunting over my Golden then I probably would shoot the 12.  I have been hunting over a pointer this past year though.  I use #4 shot in the 20.

870 12 gauge modified would prefer a full choke with lead but most places I hunt I'm hunting ducks at the same time so its steel 4's and 2's

Remington 1187, or 1187 supermag or 870, I just like to pheasant hunt :chuckle:. The gun is not near as important to me as the hunt itself. I love watching the dog(s) work and the fall/winter landscape. Whatever gun I had would be my favorite for any hunt  :IBCOOL:.

What ever is in my hands when the birds flush. I don't have a single favorite I like them all with Remington long range express 5's or 7 1/2's.

The only 12 ga I own is a Mossberg 835 ulti mag, does just fine for me so far.  I like my old springfeild 20 ga as well.
