Favorite grouse gun

[kentucky_smith]

What's your favorite gun for grouse and other birds?

 

[rbmcmjr]

An obscure Czech O/U called the BRNO ZH-302, 12 ga, choked skeet/skeet.

It has never missed.

 

[ACP230]

I was out with it this morning.
It's a 20 gauge OU made by FIAS in Italy.
No longer imported, although there are some Italian guns that look like it around these days.

It weighs six pounds and balances just right for a grouse gun.

 

[TrapperReady]

A 16ga Model 12 with the barrel trimmed back to around 24".

 

[Dave McCracken]

An 870.....

My favorite is my Benelli, but I also love to use my Dad's Beretta 471 SxS.

 

[Ed/Pa]

1939 Eastern Arms 20ga. SXS .....cyl. and cyl. It's taken quit a few grouse over the years.

 

[Wags]

Ithaca Mod 37R 16 gauge with Polychoke.

 

[huntershooter]

16 ga. Ithaca "flues" or an old L.C. 20 ga. side by side.

An 870..

Now there's a shock

 

[Srigs]

My 1930 Western Arms (Ithaca) 12 gauge SXS with modified and full barrels!

 

[SwampWolf]

Browning DoubleAuto (only made in 12 ga.). Got this gun new in 1961 (modified choke) and have used it plenty over the intervening years- though I've been using a little Merkel s/s in 20 ga. in recent times. Back in 1971 or so I had Simmons install a ventilated rib on the DoubleAuto and I still consider it one of the best-suited shotguns (in terms of handling) for quick upland bird shooting ever made. I think they stopped making it around 1971.

Either my ultra featherweight 37 Ithaca, (about 4 pounds) in 20 gauge, or a 1958 beretta sxs 20.

I have used a rizzini and a webley & scott both in 28 gauge, but i find i am too worried about scratching them up, rather than hunting.

 

[Hoser]

Citori XS, 28 gauge.

 

[BozemanMT]

An obscure Czech O/U called the BRNO ZH-302, 12 ga, choked skeet/skeet.

It has never missed

.

I'm sorry, this just cracks me up.
My gun has never missed either. It always shoots where I point it.
I might have missed once or twice, but my gun, never.

It's that nut behind the trigger that causes my gun problems.

 

[Bill B.]

Browning A-5 Light 20

 

[m14nut]

16 gauge Stevens 530a, from 1947.

 

[hms365]

My very first shotgun - H&R 20 gauge.

 

[bearmgc]

My SKB 12ga 28in O/U Field model Mod/IC and my trusty Winchester Mod 120 ranger 20ga 28in barrel, mod choke, which has put birds in the freezer for many years.

 

[ACP230]

I have a couple of runners up too.
One is my old Winchester Model 12 in 16 gauge. It has a Weaver Quik Point mounted on it, and was my grouse, geese, and deer gun for a while.

The other is a Marlin Model 90 OU in 16 gauge. I posted about the Marlin when I got it and the post is probably still around here somewhere. It's a neat old gun too.

 

[bearmgc]

A model 12 in 16ga, Nice!

 

[katonk]

Savage 24 in 20gauge/22lr...great for those on the fly or head shots...
