Best Gun for Dove Hunting

The can of worms has been opened.

Yes, I asked it.

What brand, type (pump, semi-auto, O/U, SxS), and caliber is the ideal gun in your opinion?

I started dove hunting years ago with a pump 20 gauge Winchester 1300 then I upgraded to a semi-auto Remington 11-87 Premier. My ideal gun might be a Browning Silver Hunter 12 ga or a Winchester SX3 12 ga. Feel free to tell me I'm wrong or make a case for why the brands I like are crap and the gauge I use is dumb. I like hearing different opinions.

Let's have a clean discussion and keep it above the waist. Ding, Ding!

I am running my new Saiga 12 this weekend with modified poly choke. If its not working I will switch to my Red Label Over and under or Beretta 390 though

The one that knocks em down!!

I like my silver hunter.

wingmaster first then 1100 both 12ga

1100 LT in 20 gauge

oh, modified choke

With 1oz heavy dove loads, hand rolled of course

20 ga. Browning Gold Field Grade for sunny days or I break out the Browning Silver 12 ga Synthetic when it gets nasty. Shoot Rem Heavy Dove Loads or AA Super Sport.

I can miss them with one gun as easy and I can miss with another

I got a Yildiz 12 O/U last year and I love it. We will see how it holds up.

Lets talk high volume dove hunting. Beretta A 391 has the rep for the price. Otherwise Benelli.

Love my browning gold. 12 gauge. full choke

love to shoot my remington 1100 20 gauge

16 gauge Browning BPS with 7.5 shot, same gun in 20 gauge a close second.

20 ga browning sxs, 7 1/2 AAs'

Love using my Benelli ultra light 20 gauge

Browning maxus.

same Citori..since 1978..still as tight as the day I bought it..

My thought is any gun in 16ga. My 24" barrel with ic choke struggled with the high flyers. Switching to the 28" lt.mod or may go to mod. for Friday.

What is ever in my hands!

Actually, Browning A-5 Lt. 20 imp.

Winchester SX3...reliable and hits where I point..

I love my Ithaca 37. Yeah its like 61 years old but its light and shoots awesome, and with its action it might as well be a semi. and as far as I know it has never had a failure in that 61 years (grandfather bought it brand new in 1950.)and contrary to popular opinion the model 37 12GA DOES NOT kick that bad

Either my Benelli Super Sport 12 or my Montefeltro 20 - depends on which shells I find in my closet.

I enjoy my browning gold 12 ga with 9 shot rios. However i couldnt find 9 so i had to buy 8 shot.

I pretty much just stick to my SBEII since that's what I use for duck hunting but if it was only dove I might look at another Benelli 12 or 20...hell I'd get both since this is fantasy land talk...and add a 28ga to that as well.

I have a Browning 525 Citori that is awesome but I just like my SBEII so much and from time to time that 3rd shot really does come in handy.

Browning Citori but sometimes you need that 3rd shot

I will be using my beretta Extrema 2,but have always used a pump until this year.

Franchi I-12. Has the smooth action of a Super Black Eagle II, with half the price.

Beretta White Wing, 20 ga., the name sez it all.

Yep...same gun exactly...if that makes you happy to believe it.

GOOD OL REMINGTON 870 ALL YA NEED. OR IF DONT LIKE PUMP REMINTON 1100.

vinci did me proud yesterday

Remington 1100 12Gauge, or Rem 870!

Ill be taking out my Benelli Nova tomorrow

beretta 390 all day, every day!!!!
