You know, I'd like to have just about every shotgun on this thread.
But maybe not for dove. GP uplanders, IMO, are best when they are portable. While my clays gun runs over 8 lbs, my favorite field guns run between 6 and 7 lbs. And my pick, that SKB O/U, is about 6.75 lbs. Heavy enough to soak up some kick,light enough to carry and swing fast. |

Stevens 512 O/U 20 ga and Win SX3 in 12. Both are new and haven't earned a name yet (no game has been taken with either yet).

Those doves fly fast, as best I recall. Shorter barrel, lighter weight means a lot, regardless of gauge. First dove I ever shot, in 1956, turned out to be a chicken hawk. Got it with a single-shot .410. Times have changed - mebbe today I'd get 10-to-life for shooting that hawk by mistake.

My baby......my Benelli M2 26" apg camo. I believe I bought a case of federal ultra clay and target 7 1/2's IIRC. Cannot wait. I love dove season even more than I do deer season. Lil' birdies sure taste good wrapped in bacon and drowned in orange marmalade on the grill!!!!!!!

I will hunt with the same shotgun I've used for the last 43 years. A Browning A-5 in 12 gauge. My grandson got his license just last year and will hunt with me again this year with his Remingtom Model 11 in 20 gauge.
