Jay, As someone who has hunted doves for 47+ years, take whichever gun you can shoot well. Expect a frenzy, confusion at picking out one bird when they are all over the place and expect many misses until you figure them out. I have shot them with everything from 12ga to .410 and everything in between but I especially enjoy the 28 repro or even my M42 when I feel like a challenge. For all the guns I have and have had, my best ever performance remains 15 for 16 shots with my old 870 SC skeet gun, purchased new in 1969. Open chokes are swell if hunting a water hole.
I love hunting them and eating them and will do so as long as I can shoulder a smoothbore.
