You don't believe in matching the gauge to the game? Like a 10 for geese and a 20 for quail? You believe in shredding the game?

There is matching gauge to range as well as the game bird. The mighty 10 shines at long range and far superior for pass shooting waterfowl.

Crow shooting, can't hit him too hard, shredding is fun, shooting the tall ones is fun too.

Roosters jumping far ahead late season, tight choke 2 frame 10 would be a dandy gun for that too.

Don't believe you can't shred birds with little guns also !

If we were preserve hunting with side bets , I've seen the days that I shot quail on the rise with a 28 and there was nothing left fit to eat .


But as to the 10 gauge being a goose only proposition I personally think far from it !
My 1 1/4 ounce loads of #8's work great for late season dove shoots

I would order a ten gauge two barrel set, on a #2 frame, one set of barrels like the 27" ones on my 7 1/2 pound DH, one set 32" for a weight of about 9 1/2 pounds. Those under 8 pound #2 frame tens are not rare, just scarce. I have a nice ten gauge EH 28" gun that weighs about 7 3/4 pounds and is quite a bird gun.
