Back in the day when I was eaten up with the bird hunting thing I had a pair of guns for everything . Nope they weren't Parker's or SxS's they were a pair of Browning Citori's in 16 gauge . Here in VA grouse coverts are in the mountains and a Browning Citori Upland Special 16 gauge with 24" barrels C/IC or M screwed in worked for me . If I were dove shooting or preserve hunting a Browning Citori Lightning with 28" barrels and chokes of IC/M or F worked well for me . I am sure if I were inclined these two would cover any upland stuff I wanted to do now . And quite possibly that Lightning could cover the goose stuff I've been doing . Back then I had Parker's Fox's and Smith's as well as guns from the Continent and the U.K. And liked them but when I was seriouse I used the Brownings .
