To continue the "When I was growing up in the South" theme - I grew up in south Georgia in the '50s and only knew two adult quail hunters. Both of those gentlemen shot Ithaca model 37's in 16 gauge. I personally started quail hunting with an external hammer 12 gauge side-by-side and later changed to a Remington model 11 in 12 gauge with a sawed off barrel. The repro that I currently own is a 28 gauge q1/q2.
