just one upland gun.

[wadu1]

I have a Beretta 391 20 ga that I just love for targets. But for an upland gun I like my Remington 11-78 Special Field in 20ga or my 1100 Special Field in 12ga; I'm an auto fan myself. 

[RadSav]

For an auto fan I'd take a look at the Franchi's.  Super light, doesn't twist in the hand like the Remington, swings like a double gun and extremely affordable.  Available in 20 or 28 gauge.  They are sweet.  I use one a lot when I'm quail hunting.

is the superlight the same as the AL48? I would love to do side by side comparison of a franchi al48 and is more expensive cousin the benelli ultralight. I have heard a lot of goods about both.

have a camo mossberg 500, 12ga, 24"... use it for everything. have killed turkeys, rabbits, quail, pheasant, ducks, geese.. even carried it for deer and hogs with slugs- I can hit a clay pigeon first round out to about 85 steps with slugs.. plain, simple, cycles anything..

singleshot12, get some sleeves for the Husqvarna and drop it down to 20gauge, and you would have one hell of a spiffy steel shot safe pheasant gun.

Good point on putting the sleeves in and Spiffy yes but after looking at that Pegaso o/u it's got me thinking if the Husky is even practical. Awe hell I'll just get both and while i'm at it I'll get that Browning citori too that I've always wanted. Might have to apply for second mortgage but atleast it would satisfy my double barrel fetish. I know! just one!

All the 48's are super light.  Although the 28 gauge is now only available in the Fenice.  At least that is what I have been told recently.

The Benelli Ultralight is very much like the Franchi.  Only held it in my hands at the store. I have yet to shoot it to see the differences in feel upon shooting, but for the same price you can come close to the Fenice which is as good a looking a gun as you will find in an auto loading uplander.  The nickle work is amazing on that gun and less than $1,400.00 MSRP.

I'll take my classic doubles 20. ga. No rooster is safe when i'm armed with her.

I'd have to go with my grandfathers Remington 11-48 sportsman, 16 ga.,  28", had Briley thread in thin wall chokes (previously fixed full, want to say it was a duck gun)...I can pull up on that gun so damn quick, and it is very light and user friendly.  Shot my first goose with it in '88, and took my first hun and quail with it this season (we don't have valley quail or huns in Michigan ).

Only downside, I try to keep a spent shell from every hunt (if I'm lucky to shoot), and put some sort of note of the day afield...guess sort of like a journal, however, the ejector throws the shells to where I can't find them.  Intent is to give the shotgun w/ all my hulls/stories to my son's kid (if I'm lucky) someday.

[dawei]

For all my upland hunting I much more prefer two shots through two chokes, than three shots through one choke; thus I choose..........

My 1921 Ithaca® Lefever® 16ga SxS, I acquired in 1965. I've taken everything possible with this gun over five decades; Deer, Ducks, Geese, Grouse, Pheasants, Quail, Rabbits, Squirrels, and Turkey. If that gun is not available (Steel shot required on Game Dept lands); I use my Remington® SPR220 20ga SxS (Baikal® IZH-43).

My 16 is my primary "Bunny Buster" these days when I go out with my brace of Beagles. In a few more years it will go to my son & grandson. (At 7 years old he is already proficient with a H&R® youth single shot 410.)There is a lot of history to that 16ga SxS..........
• John Franklin 1869-1933
• Eldon Grant 1914-1983
• David Wayne 1950-
• Michael David 1971-
• Jayden Michael 2004-

I have a number of the Beretta Pigeons in 20 gauge.  I use the Silver III most often for upland.  The Diamond is just too dang pretty to bang up.  I have been looking at the Browning Cynergy Feather in 20.  Seems to be calling my name awefully loud.  Though I find it hard to believe it will out shoot the Beretta.

I have the Cynegy Feather in 20 GA with the 28" barrels.  It is my go to gun for all my upland hunting.

Damn!  Now I'm going to have to go buy another gun

[Kowsrule30]

My Mosseberg 500 12 gauge.... 3 different barrels for it and has never let me down.... Have killed everything from yote and deer to all upland and fowl with it.... Got it when I was 13.... Don't need anything else.... But I do love my Pardner 410.... Try huntin roosters with that!!!!!! 

[Emptyhanded]

I'd be fine with only shooting my Remington 11-87 for the rest of my life. I do love shooting my Red Label but it seems like I always pick up the 11-87 when it's time to hunt.

I found my dream shotgun this past year.   I saw one of these in 1966 and fell in love with it and have looked for one I could afford with a case colour frame and a straight grip.  It is a French Darne,  along with Champagne and Brandy the only good things to come out of France. 

12ga, 28" barrels. straight grip and selective auto ejectors, weight 6 lbs even.  Very strong action, they even build double rifles on it.  It is oh so nice to carry and handles like Ferarri.

I took a limit of geese with my Beretta 686 in 20 gauge this year 

And countless upland birds
