Quail guns

[Ken Hill]

Here's a couple of quail/pheasant guns. I stick to the ubiquitous 12 gauge. I mostly hunt pheasant in KS and consider quail as a bonus bird.

1. Dickson RA from 1898; weighs about 6 lbs 4oz. Of course you need a Gordon to go along on the hunt.


2. A 12 gauge lighter than a typical 20 gauge at 5 lbs 8 oz. It works fine on pheasant or quail. A 2" H&H.

So true!

[C.O.B.]

The Brits had something with their 2 inch 12's. A 28ga load in a 12ga package it's just about as perfect as can be.

If I had to pick just one or two guns for all my upland gunning the meat gun would be right behind Gunner's Gun. I don't have any pictures of it but it's a DHE 20, straight grip with 26 inch bbls choked cyl/IC. Some day it will make the trip to Georgia.

The 28 gauge was built in 1997 engraved by Richard Roy, The 410 is of that same time period also Engraved by the Master...The gold setter is lifelike! Roys birds look like they could fly away. My special order XE-16 was by luck engraved by Richard Roy in 2015 a last minute change by the maker ...(-: I am thankful to own this trio of modern Fox guns. If I ever get to hunt Quail on one of those fancy southern plantations, all three will get their turn! So much hunting....so little time!!!
