The case for a pump as the ideal upland shotgun By Andy Fondrick Growing up hunting birds I was always shuffling different guns depending on the hunting season.
My grandpa loves to collect guns for the grandkids to grow into and then pass down. Shot an beretta extreme 2 for over ten years, was incredibly reliable, true workhorse. Replaced it with an A extreme, so far so good. A is a bit lighter and handles a bit easier. Love beretta autoloaders, had a and then a also. Soft shooting and reliable. I get by with a 20 ga Red Label, for everything Big Ern Senior Member. Joined Nov 3, Messages Location California. I would run a sbe 3.

Hunters have probably killed more gamebirds with pumps than with all other types of shotguns combined. Because pumps are affordable, reliable, versatile, easy to repair, and available in all sorts of configurations. And because companies like Remington, Winchester, and Ithaca built pump shotguns for so long, there are tons of used ones on the market and bargains are easy to find. When you pull the trigger on a semi-auto, the gun fires once and then reloads and cocks itself.
It does this by siphoning off a portion of the recoil. Like it says in the name, double barrels have two barrels. Each holds a single shell.
Some doubles have two triggers, one for each barrel. Others have a single trigger which fires one barrel the first time you pull it and the other barrel the second time. How specialized double barrels can be. Highly Recommended. Getting en-gauged Shotguns come in a variety of gauges: 10, 12, 16, 20, 28 and. Tags Novice Shotguns Upland. View Comments 10 Thank you! Thanks for your help! Thanks for the kind words. Now that we've raved about twelves, let's talk about America's other favorite gauge: The twenty.
If you're looking for one shotgun to do it all, can a twenty-gauge do it? That depends on what "all" means to you. Due to factors like their lightweight, twenty gauges are best suited for loads filled with up to?
For grouse, chukars, quail, doves, woodcock and pen-raised pheasants, that's plenty. It's also fine for clay-pigeon shooting. But when it comes to tougher upland birds like wild pheasants and large waterfowl, you'll need to shoot more lead—especially later in the season.
This makes shooting them uncomfortable. One way around this is to shoot a gauge semi auto. Because of the way it's designed, it will soak up some of this extra recoil.
Of course, another way around the limitations of the twenty is to go with the more versatile and more perfect? While they have their minuses a bit more weight , they'll comfortably shoot loads up to 1? That extra lead is what you need to bring down bigger, tougher birds, making it a big plus.
The Greatest Gauge Here's how to start an argument with a bunch of serious hunters: Say "A twelve gauge is the best gauge.
