Charles Daly Semi and a Stoeger O/U

Beretta es100

Brand new toy I just got. Citori Feather Lightning 20ga 28". Always wanted one and finally treated myself.

Sweet 16 and a few boxes of 30 year old shells. Love the smell of that old gunpowder.

JC Higgins model 20 pump 12ga

Bought it for $70 earlier this year and have it a real nice refinish. I bet that suckers worth $75 now! But it shoots.

Ill have my grandfathers 1100 and probably take the A300 JIC. probably wont pick up the A300 though, opening day is for the wood stocks guns like said above, every day after the A300 will get the start!

Ithaca 37 in 16 gauge from 1956, my opening day tradition.

Ruger Red Label 28 gauge

First year hunting. So pumped for Monday.

I'll have a 12 gauge CZ canvasback O/U and my daughter a Weatherby SA20 youth. Tagging off the above post. she has never had a failure to eject with light loads. About 500 rounds through itat this point.

Kevin

The ol' 870 as of now. Been looking for a used 1100, but no luck yet.

Remington 1100

You both will be hooked for life. I know my daughter can't wait.

o/u wasn't in the cards this year so gonna have to do it the same as always. My grandpa's Browning double auto from 1952

I have an old 870 pump and a new Cordoba, not sure which one I should take

I know the pump would get better fuel mileage, but the Benelli is funner to drive!!

ive shot heavy 4s and light 7 1/2s in mine, bout 200 total rounds and haven't had any problem so far. I think I have the light piston in it.

Me - Beretta AL390 Silver Mallard 12ga in synthetic
Wife - Beretta AL390 Silver Mallard 20ga in wood
Kids will be fighting over a Mossberg 510 mini 410

Browning Sweet Sixteen

Yea, we went out to the range today for our last practice shoot. Did the "dove course" and she went 29 for 50. I went 35 for 50. I know the real birds will be tougher but there is some hope for us. Either way, just getting to this point has already been a great bonding experience.

Kevin

Just doing that bit of practice y'all are light years ahead of 95% of the dove hunters in Texas! Good luck and be safe!

Ithaca m37 Featherweight. 16 ga with handloads.

It's kind of cool to me to see what everyone picks as their favorites. Doesn't always have to be the prettiest or most expensive. I find as I get a little older my preference for "race guns" with synthetic stocks and inertia actions are giving way to wood furniture and 2 barrels.

good luck to all and be safe, enjoy the time afield with family and friends

Like ltmfh I'm going with an old fn o/u.

Mine kicks like a mule! It only sees the dove field once a year and when walking forever hunting pheasant!

That is why the light handloads!

Carol will be with me.
