12ga or 20ga for Upland birds and ducks?

Christmas is coming and sales will follow.
Watch all the sales or someone unloading one used.
If you're not stuck on tradition a good semi auto is the best. It will do everything. But you won't look cool with a broken shotgun over your shoulder lol

Good point... I do like the simplicity and tradition of the double barrels for some reason. I also like bamboo Spey rods, so maybe it's just me ��

I scored this Russian beauty a couple of years ago right here on HBC.
Keep your eyes open always.

Very nice. Yeah, something like that would be ideal

For the past three years I've been shooting a Weatherby PA-08 12ga. I have the synthetic combo both the rifled slug barrel and a longer field barrel. I believe that combination only comes in 12ga, but you can get just the PA-08 synthetic with the field barrel only in 20ga. I like this shotgun as it's a dependable, low maintenance basic shotgun. Not a budget breaker either. This waterfowl season I've shot it weather as cold as -12 and it just keeps grinding out the shots. Very decent shotgun. You can also get a 20ga in some of their other models two.
