He and Charlie H and I were actually hunting pheasants in Kansas but a quail got up and Bruce took it with his 10 with a long crossing shot. I think it's a 2-frame.

They'd stone you to death for showing up on a South Texas quail hunt with a 10 ga.! I usually shoot an O frame 26" 16 ga. lite mod/IC or one of several pretty open choke 20s I have. Most of my group shoots 28s and razz me when I show up with a 16. Besides, to hunt quail with a 10 I'd want a gun bearer. Even this 2 frame is more than I want to carry in the brush.

That's certainly what the used gun market reflects. Seems like any time period I'm interested in buying you have to look harder for 10s while tripping over 12s. Many more 12s than small bores as well. I've personally seen 1 .410 hammer SxS, 0 28s, 0 20s, 2 16s and a boatload of 12s, a few 10s, an 8 and a 4. Granted I'm probably underexposed, just need to spend more time and $$ on my habit!.......My wife would disagree........at length.

I still haven't figured out how many is "enough". I'm still chasing an 0 frame 26" 16 Damascus among others.
