Shadowchaser Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 Imagine a world in which you could only own one shotgun, (terrible to think of I know). Which gun would you choose? For this I'd suggest two scenarios: 1. You have to choose a gun you currently own. In my case I'd have to pick my Beretta Upland. Can be used for everything from rough shooting to clays. Not too heavy and being a semi, soaks up most recoil and is an attractive looking gun. It may not be welcome on certain shoots but I could live with that. 2. You can choose any gun with any budget. To be honest I'd still stick with the Upland. What would you go for and why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesj Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 Easy 1) I'd keep my 20 bore lincoln premier gold. 2) I'd have a 20 bore made by purdey or holland and holland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sam triple Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 It would have be my Blaser F16 just love it , not sure how it would fair at the foreshore though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 1) I have a 16 gauge Remington 1100 made circa 1960 and that would be my choice. 2) It would be a 410 double ejector and with unlimited budget then one made for me personally. Do not need famcy wood or expensive engraving but it would have to fit like a glove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mel b3 Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 I'd stick with my camo k200 duck blind . I haven’t used any of my other shotguns since I bought it around five years ago . It's a cheapie , but it just does everything , from clay loads , to solid slugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted it the other way around last time 😂😂 maybe I should have chosen a Holland and Holland paradox that would have covered shooting everything from snipe to buffalo with the correct ammunition 🤔😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 On the grounds that everyone is entitled to one mistake, why is it never possible to get this right on the second purchase? Although I have had a couple of good 'uns, it's taken me nigh on 55 years to get it right and the stupid thing is the actual one which is right was available back then. The Webley and Scott 12 bore 702 based on the Churchill XXV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strimmer_13 Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 I might as well just grab a handful of carts and throw them at most targets, so, I need a good selection of guns to blame for my poor shooting. Aa12 maybe... Going to miss once might as well do it 20 times... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob85 Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 Out of my current guns i would have to go for the sarasketa 12bore. Double trigger, non ejector so it's not likely to be letting me down. If I could have anything I wanted I would probably go for a krieghoff K80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am fortunate to have enough to choose from, including those new fangled thingies. These Lancaster “wrist breakers” are underrated and have been underpriced for a long time.

243deer Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 My head says I use my .410 mossberg moderated pump the most. For ratting, covid control near the cattle and deer vehicle collision humane dispatch. My heart says my old Miroku, early 70's, sbs that has taken a lot of pigeons would be hardest to let go.
