Upland guns: What do you carry?

Just curious what your weapon of choice is for bird hunting? As for myself, I carry a 12ga Browning Gold upland special. This is the basic browning gold with a 24" barrel and an english stock. After purchasing this gun, i'll never buy another without the english stock. If your not famillar with the stock, it has no pistol type grip, just a straight stock from reciever to butt plate. It felt pretty awkward at first, but the thing is so quick on the draw it's rediculous. Your hand just slides right into position when drawing down.

Berretta

Hey gang,

Berretta Silver Pigeon for me. 32" barrells that are ported and I added a little weight to the butt. This makes the balance point closer and allows for a fast swing on the birds. May be overkill, but I look good carrying it.

franchi

I can't afford those fancy guns like everybody else. I bought a franchi for 100 bucks when I was 15 or 16. I dont think I'll ever quit using it!!!!!

Benelli

It's a Benelli super black eagle for me, It cost me a lot but I'll take great care of it and should never have to buy another shotgun as long as I live. Although I also have a franchi ultra light 20, rem 11-87 super mag, Mossberg pump 12, Mossberg pump 410, sears and roebuck 12, Yep thats it.

Sears and Roebuck 12, Nice!!! Wonder if that was included with the purchase of a washer / dryer ??

It's our family tradition to carry my grandpa's old Remington model 12 on opening day of pheasant season! I can't imagine how many birds that thing has downed. It's a great way to pay respects to the man who got this thing going in the family blood.

it depends on what I'm hunting as to what gun I shoot but overall I don't think you can beat a browning
