I've been using my new Citori 16 ga exclusively all season, and I love it.

I've got about 1000 rounds through it so far, and it's an excellent gun indeed! :D

Too numerous to list. With four sons my excuse was they all needed one of everything also.

From A - W, foreign and domestic. Pumps, semi-autos, O/Us, SxS from .410 to 10 ga., 26" - 32", 2 3/4" to 3 1/2". Prefer light in the field and heavy for waterfowling.

Gun used the most last year: Beretta 391 20 ga., 26" barrel.

Gun that fits me the worst: brother's Benelli SBE II, 12 ga.

Berreta. Both my 12 semi-auto and over/under both are Berreta. Used to be a Browning guy until my A5 jammed every time I shot dove loads. Still use browning for deer hunting.

Hi all I use nummerous shotguns!! I shoot alot of sporting clays to keep my accuracy up! I use a Berretta Silver Pigeon II combo set 20/28, I aslo shoot a SKB 20 gauge, I also hunt with a Berretta 391 urika and I also hunt/shoot a BLack Eagle II. Out of those guns I enjoy shooting and hunting with my SKB its light and very durable.

Re: Which shotgun brand do you use?

Post by brotherbill3 » Mon Sep 29, 2008 8:59 pm

Right now I have 3 ... any my favorite is the JC Higgins M.20 - 12ga. pump with 26" modified barrel and 2 3/4" chamber. So smooth you hit the slide release and it just falls open. It was my grandpa's gun. ... Unfortunately it also pre-dates steel shot (and I can't afford $33/10 shell hevi-shot for waterfowl or doves) ... so I have been carrying the rossi 12 ga. single break (your shoulder) action. I say break your shoulder because it only ways about 5lb-12 oz. I shot a box of target loads and had a bruised shoulder for week. ... (the recoil at that weight is about 30% more than a normal 7.5 lb gun)

Really, I know that I want an remington 870 when I get enough extra dollars. I got one when I turned 16, but it also pre-dated steel shot, choke tubes, and 3" shells; so I sold it (and didn't get enough $ for it I'm sure, it was a wingmaster not an express) during my 15 yr layoff from hunting when I needed some extra cash ... but it was a clone of the higgins (and loosing that would be a bidder loss).

I've waited a long time for someone to point out how bogus this poll is. Marlin, Merkel, Miroku, Verona & Weatherby listed with no Browning, Beretta, Ruger & Ithaca. This poll was either obviously slanted from the start or the pollster didn't know a tinkers **** about the other popular brands. Everyone knows why the "other" category is so large. :roll:

I have a Browning Citori and a new CZ Redhead. At this point, I am a little pissed I spent so much for the Citori but it sure looks good. If the CZ holds up over the next 12 months I will get a SXS in a 28 gauge.

I have a 12 and 20 ga Stoeger sxs. Not the prettiest guns ever made but when you pull the trigger they go boom every time. :D For the price you don't worry about laying them down in a wet field or the back of a pickup !

Mostly shoot a stevens 311 in 20 that is choked too tight and weighs too much but it gets the job done. I am in the market for a lighter double gun so we will see what I end up with. I actually shot 20 on a round of skeet with it last Wed and was pretty happy.

I also have an 870 for waterfowl and rainy nasty days in the field

I voted winchester cause I put about 1.5-2 cases of duck and goose loads through my SX3 a year waterfowl hunting, and probly another 2 cases of dove loads, but my go to for "birds" is a baikal O/U 20ga.

I own way too many guns....Like many of you I'm sure there are a few I go back to most of the time. I have an old Savage 12ga. pump I bought in a pawn shop in the 1980's that I usually shoot for waterfowl. Ugly, but "bleep" I can shoot it. I have an Ithaca/SKB 12ga. autoloader also acquired in the 80's. It's my go to for rabbits and dove. As far as birds.....Franchi 48/al ultralight 20ga. Bought it new in the early 90's.
