Most of my upland hunting is for Phez and Sharpies. My gauge of choice has been the 16. My favorite gun to hunt with is a well worn but cared for tight as a tick 1921 VHE on a 1 frame with 32" barrels which weighs in at 6-12. Heavy by most standards but I enjoy it in the open prairie. Bought it from a Gent at the Southern when I spied him putting it in the rack and inquired. He said he owned the gun for near 40 years and it had been a favorite of his, one he could always shoot well, he said he shot it like crap that day. I asked if he would entertain selling it. His reply, not most days but today ain't like most days
