When I go out of town for a hunt, I try to pick a gun that will do it all, and include one backup, only for the unlikely situaton where my main gun would break. I guess that's why I normally use one of my six to seven pound tens when I go on a serious grouse hunt. I want to be ready for anything. I would pick a twelve for a SD pheasant hunt because of the number of shells that may be expended. May have to go to the hardware store for replacements. Harold, I would recommend you take the six sixteen gauges and leave the others behind to simplify the ammunition situation.

Bill;
Taking one or two guns is just not fun anymore. I'll carry one gun in the morning and another in the afternoon. But...... If I decide to only take two I guess I'll have to sell the rest to you so I won't be tempted to take more.

In two weeks I am headed for the Forks, Maine, for a week of grouse/woodcock hunting. As my VH 16 on a 0 frame is at Brian Dudley's for some much needed work I hunted with a 1930 transition 16 gauge sterlingworth with 28" barrels and RST spreader loads. Gun weighs 6 Lbs 1 Oz.
