Ok so the point of this thread is just to see gun everyone prefers to shoot and what shot shell they prefer. Whether it be a cheap federal or a high dollar fiochi. Include choke size to.

I normally use my Winchester 1200. But Sunday I'll be trying out my benelli nova with a mod. Choke. For shells I'll be using federal multipurpose loads. $20 for a half case and I have never had problem killing birds with them. What is everyone else's weapon and shell of choice. Good luck Sunday!

Beretta A300 Outlander with improved cylinder. Will be using Remington heavy dove in #8. Will be on a patch of red clay with gravel in the AM, and hope to hunt the tank in the PM, if there is any water.

My son will be hunting with the same setup. If one of the Outlanders fails, then I will go back to the tried and true Beretta O/U, and the boy will continue with the other Outlander.

Will be hunting with my dad and son, so good times no matter what.

Really? I would guess there are more 12's in the fields on opening day than 20's, judging from the pallets of 12 gauge shells at Academy. Also the lack of new 20 gauge entry level semiautos under $1000. There are many new budget 12's, but not nearly as many 20's.
