Which gun to choose?
 

Mike Gaddis talks about the dilemma we face every time we open the gun cabinet. Which gun do we take to the dance?

"Be curious, not judgemental".

I had that dilemma last week and decided on a 20 i bought in 1967 and started my grouse and woodcock hunting with. My sons learned to hunt with it and i have carried it more hours than all my other guns combined. Had made the decision before reading the article and when i read ''going with the one that brung me'' it brought a catch in my throat and i knew it was right. Thank you for the link

I dont get out a lot, hunting or clay shooting. I more look at it as “which gun have I not shot in a while”?

The fun is in the choosing (and, Harry, you need to expand your library 😇).

It's never too early to start thinking about what gun you are going to take

Harry,

He did say that, BUT in Modern Shotguns and Loads in chapter 10, page 89 he states: For my own use, if I could own but one gun, that would be a 16 bore, 6-3/4 pounds weight, 30 inch barrels, one barrel modified and the other full choke, and I'd be liable to say, "Get thee behind me Satan for you cannot tempt me any further."

if i had to choose only one gun it would be a 10 bore........charlie

I’m mighty partial to the 16. However, there is a reason there are more 12 gauge doubles than any other gauge. IMHO
