That's true, I forget most people hunt open fields. My 12-gauge turkey and pheasant shell are the same. I've only shot two with 20 gauge 3 ''. My favorite set up is a 20 double with one 2.75 for under 30 and a 3" over 30. I try and not hunt farm fields and make them hunt me if possible. Most of my birds are 20 yards or less. Thier last thought is what the hell are those two littel black holes!
Not a field one. I do have a 12ga CSX browning, but too heavy for field work. After my initial post I did lay my paws on a 725 feather 12ga. 28" barrels that I really liked. I thought it was a good looking gun and also it did truly appear neutral, which is really important for me because I shoot off the left shoulder. The problem with Berettas is that they come with right hand butt stocks, so a lefty is at a disadvantage, unless you purchase left hand wood. I have no problem doing that, but there isn't a major beretta dealer anywhere near me, so I in essence would be buying a gun sight unseen with a custom stock. Kind of an expensive endeavor. That and I have no idea what my stock measurements are. So right now leaning towards the browning 725 feather unless I find a gem on the used rack at Ahlmans.
There's a lot to be said for fast-handling, lightweight shunting guns.
