I suspect about 5 3/4 lbs. I had a pad put on, 15” lop

Mmmm that sounds perfect! 15 should get me pretty close, I can't remember if I'm 15 or 16....

Thank you for sharing!

You can put a leather recoil pad over the end of the stock and add 3/4” to an 1”…galco makes them, and others do as well

Yeah I looked in to that on my bobwhite, just to make the extension look a little cleaner. Doing some research I just now realized Ugartechea shut the plant down. Also been looking at upland gun company too. Little more money but the process looks pretty awesome!

 

[benelli-banger]

Used guns are an option; bought all
4 of my Uggie’s used.

Aya special order 4/53 fit to my dimensions, got this year. 16 gauge, articulated trigger,29 inch tubes , parkerized barrels , and hand rubbed oil finish stock. Since it’s. A Field gun.

Since we're talking side by sides what's would be a good smaller gauge(like 20 or 28) gun for someone looking for a light weight quail gun? Say around the 2k mark for fun...

FAIR ISIDE is in that budget and good reviews. I’m tempted for a 20 myself.

 

[birddude]

You just described mine exactly.

And mine. 28 gauge model 30 uggi.

I love hunting pheasants with my A.H. Foxes. Usually in a twelve gauge, but my only double on South Dakota roosters was with a 20 gauge. I hope to find a nice 16 gauge some day. Rumor has it that since Fox built the 16gauge on a 20 gauge frame, you can get a 16 gauge that come in at around six pounds. Sounds like the perfect gun for walking the prairies to me!

Fox, Rumors are true. I have several of them, lol

 

[benelli-banger]

I have a sterlingworth 16….light as a feather! 1928 gun.

 

[birddude]

My three favorites, none super expensive. But I don’t see how you could get better. Uggi 20, Ithaca skb 100, Uggi 28. The pistol grip 20 is lighter and faster than the 28. Advertised as American imports. Bought it on gb under 500. 26’s imp/imp. I think the 25 inch Ithaca skb 100 version imp/mod would be tits!!

I have no personal experience (yet), but I've read a lot of favorable reviews on this gun. Most likely a 20ga, but another 16ga is not beyond reason.

 

[jmuller19]

I have a fox 20 ga. that I used for ruffed grouse hunting, great gun. It never misses, but sometimes I the operator do. LOL

Dickinson Estate 16 ga

Big Tits? Lol

I have one in 16 ga. Fun gun. Killed a few in SD with it a few weeks ago. One in 28 ga would be pretty sweet.

 

[2triggers]

Lately it’s been an older Webley & Scott and a FAIR Iside, both 16’s.

 

[Miforester]

Been known to carry my Browning BSS 12 or 1938 LC Smith 16ga.

First SxS I ever used as an AH Fox that my uncle had. It was a 20 ga that had developed a knot in one of the barrels right on the choke area. He had a gunsmith cut it down to get rid of the knot. So it had 2 cylinder barrels. It was a quail busting sucker. Loved that gun. Wish I had it today.
