I think for now mine is a BPS in 28 GA. that i picked up over a year ago. I have absolutely fallen in love with the 28 GA. and would like to try some other shotguns in that GA. Whats some of your favorites?
What is your favorite shotgun/guage combo?

Yes, it's a 28 ga.

Some of my favorites?
It's like asking me which of my kids I like better. Although I did recently shoot a 100 bird tournament with a 9+ lb O/U fitted with .410 subgauge tubes. I found it amusing in the extreme. I could hardly tell the thing fired except for the fact that the targets were breaking. It felt like I'd shot 100 squib loads, all in a row.

Exactly. I can't pick a favorite either.
The gun that delights me the most would be my Perazzi MX8-28 gauge. Great fun at sporting clays and a pure pleasure to shoot.
In the duck blind however my favorite is my Beretta 391.
Hunting upland my 12 gauge Iberian sxs on a 16 gauge frame is without peer.
When something goes bump in the night or there are mysterious noises in the barn nothing beats my 870.
Each one is a favorite for different reasons.

A nice classy O/U (Ive sadly never owned an O/U but prefer them) in 12 gauge.
But for now my Mav88 12g is serving me very well, just with much less panache.

A nice CZ Woodcock Deluxe (O/U) in 20ga but I am beginning to feel the need for a 28ga.

Kinda assumes you do one thing, so one guns works.
I have a Weatherby Orion II that I use for clays. It's as close to perfect as I'm gonna get
Use a 10 gauge SP-10 for geese and turkeys. 3 1/2" shell with 2 oz might be a little much for sporting clays
I use an 870 for general field stuff and a rifled barrel for deer.

Gotta be a Winchester M-12...Mine's the limited edition 20ga.
Well, I'm very glad to hear that redranger1! The 28ga BPS I ordered just came in on tuesday! I've only got to shoot two boxes through it, but I am in love! I'm sad because I'm travelling to Asia for three weeks on monday and won't get to shoot it again until amost November!
As far as the one I shoot the most and am the best with, it must be my 12ga SKB 85TSS O/U 30". It weighs almost ten pounds and after picking up something like a Beretta 682 Gold E it feels incredibly unsexy and cumbersome, but I have never found a gun I shoot so well! It swings so well and fits me like a glove. Shot my first 25 straight in skeet with it this spring in a windstorm and my second a week later in a downpour!

For a pump action, I love mossberg 12 guages. (I have a 500).
For a semi auto, I would love to have a Bennelli SBE II

12 gauges since they have such a huge ammo variety (http://www.firequest.com/catalog/showcase_item_4.html, http://www.hi-vel.com/Catalog__18/catalog__18.html), or .45LC handguns as you can use them to spit .410 shotshells if you need a low-recoil CQB weapon.

just own one a mossberg maverick in 12 gauge with a 28 inch barrel,and it aint failed me yet so it is good in my book.
Marlin single shot .410. Gun weighs under 5 lbs and swings nicer than a fine double.
I had an 870 in 28, but it just didn't fit me. I'd love a superlight 28 gauge double, but the American ones are super expensive and I have no illegal aliens in my safe.
