According to one Englishmen 4s and 8s were pretty effective shooting for shooting groups of gamebirds on the ground. It would probably be frowned upon these days to shoot a covey of quail with a 8 gauge .

There is that LC Smith 8 ga on GB I think it is engraved with a quail makes me wonder if thats what the original owner was using it for.

I wouldnt mind getting a 16 gauge double at some point I think a Lefever would be interesting I dont see them show up often.
