Well, I live in 12ga-auto-loader-with-the-plug-out-and-3"-mags-if'n-yer-gun'll-take-em' country, and I typically carry a 16ga side by side which, I've been told, is "a pretty nice gun for a girl". So, 20/28, 20/16, 16/12, 12/10, meeny/miney...

Sorry Mills. We Yankee's are a proud race and we find it hard to let pass unfortunate comments by Southerners. Below is what I considered to be my most effective grouse gun. It's a graded Smith 16 bore that I used for years shooting an ounce of #9's. I eventually sold it because it wasn't a Parker.

For those who don't know me, I enjoy baiting Southerners and going head to head and toe to toe with them. All in fun of course.

These pictures are for you Mills. I know you like Brittanies. The best grouse dog I ever owned was a Brittany named Rusty. He was a two year old finished dog my grandfather bought for me when I was 14 years old. I've owned three Brittanies but switched to English setters because I thought them to be traditional and a bit more stylish on point. But I'll never forget Rusty. These pictures bring back great memories. Rusty and I were inseparable. I used to take him on dates.

After a day of guiding my great nephew to one of life's great pleasures. I introduced his mother to the wonders of chasing Mr. Bob and now it's his turn.

While traipsing through the wire grass at Morrison Pines I picked up an empty shell, it was a 3 inch 20 with 1 1/4oz of #4

I haven't used anything bigger than a 20 for quail. Admittedly I take the Purdey light game gun but the 2 inch RST are equivalent to a 28 or 20 with 3/4 oz loads. I also enjoy the 410 but it is a Fox double no repeaters

If were going to count 16's as quail guns I'll post a couple.

If you're talking pen raised birds, a 20 gauge is the max. Wild birds are a little different story. And when I'm running the dogs off horse back then it's usually my 16 gauge NID, primarily because she's a bit of beater and the scabbard will pretty quickly ware the bluing off the barrels.
