This year will be different in that I'll be just taking long weekends but will alternate between guns and gauges so most get a turn.
My preferred barrel length is 26 and choked IC/M or SKT/SKT. I recently adopted a VHE 20 skeet with a factory vent rib which will get a work out.
I'll hunt a couple of times with a 12 but in my defense it's a British light game gun and I use RST 2 inch shells with 3/4 oz of 8's. Just like a 28.

A friend bought a British 2" 12 which I helped him inspect. He is using it for Woodcock this upcoming season. I want to get a 1/2 frame 12 for my upland hunting arsenal

Mills the light game gun is less than 6 lbs and is pure joy for a 12. I've used it for grouse, wood cock and quail. It's the only 12 I'll hunt with.
