Browning Maxus 12g, 3 ½”   (my new go-to gun for heavy work)
Browning A5 mag 12g 3”      (if I don’t have to carry it too far)
Browning A5 light 12g 2 ¾”  (my favorite)

Once with a Browning Citori, 12g 2 ¾” but I don’t like to get it dirty.

I am a fan of Benelli and you cant go wrong with the nova! I have been shooting a SBE for years now and it is a great gun.  I owned a NOVA for 1 year but the whole pumping thing was not for me.

My original #1 duck gun was an 870 3"  with ic choke.
After both shoulders had surgery, I switched to 11-87 again with 3" shells and IC
Back up over decoys is 1100 16 guage modified, vintage 1950's era, inheritance gun.  I prefer that one, but of course with steel shot the payload is whimpy.

NOVA BABY.

watched several other guns malfunction or quit from the elements in the same blind as my nova that kept on ticking.
"Right now, I am thinking that If my grandmother was here, she would be lecturing me about how there are poor people in Africa, that would just love to have a Ruger, I would just say "Great, granny, lets just ship all the Rugers to Africa!"

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the beretta extrema 2, the gun of choice for three of my hunting companions.

A 12 gauge camo SBE Benelli "southpaw"  :) a good gun. I think the best gun I ever had was an 870, that thing went through hell and back with me. You could freeze that gun in water, dethaw it and it would fire no matter what condition it was in.

If I ever had to carry a shotgun in a war an 870 is what I would want, always reliable.
