I didn't have the privilege of being able to hunt growing up so I mostly just go to the range. But I'm getting more and more into the sport. I went bear hunting last month and had a blast so looking to get into waterfowl.
Looking to get a side by side to hunt with. I have a Benelli Sport 12 gauge auto for shooting clays but it just seems like more of a challenge to have less shots when hunting. I wanted a twenty because I already have another 12 in a home defense pistol grip shotgun and I have a boxes of 20 gauge shells laying around with nothing to put them in.
I also wanted to know if a twenty gauge will be fine for hunting ducks and geese or is it underpowered?
Saw a side by side 20 gauge at Dicks Sporting goods in S.C. I believe it was around $350. Has anyone had any experience with this gun? They also have a shorter version that they call a stagecoach. Would the stagecoach be a good choice or would the short barrel make the shots less accurate and projectiles lose velocity?
