20 Gauge for Mountain Hunting

[win71]

I want my 5 shots for double rises,

This gun will be dropped in the dirt and rocks.

Those are two requirements I haven't run across before. I'll have to think a little more on this one.

Walmart stocks them around here (Chales Daly Field Auto) You should be able to go handle one. Worst case, call them, CD, and ask them where one is. They are helpful folks.
Handles fine, to me, but it is a LOT lighter than my 12 ga 11-87.

Were it not a LOT lighter than an 11-87 (at least since they stopped making the Premier), I wouldn't even look at it.

I'll have to check Wally World. I wasn't looking for a CD when I went by last time...

Thanks!

And, as an aside, I do not notice the barrel motion on my Auto5's at all. I can't say if that makes me really OK or really a moron, but there it is.

Me neither, unless it's my Mag 12 set heavy and loaded light.

I have been using a Franchi 48 20 gauge for over 50 years. I've never noticed the barrel motion when firing it. You will be real glad you have one climbing those hills. It weighs less than 6 lbs.
