[QUOTE="SumTingWong, post: 1794529, member: 110341"] Been doing a lot of deer hunting (rifle/bow) in San Diego, yes, San Diego, and the season just ended. One of my new hunting partners has had a few years experience with bird hunting, and has invited me to go. I have not shot a shotgun for 30 years, and do not own one. I'm not afraid of a little kick (one of my rifles is a lever 45-70), but am not a spring chicken (56) and would like to get something fun/comfortable to shoot. I know I'll eventually need more than one, but would like to start with something that works well for dove, quail, and other birds in this class. If it could also do turkey, that would be a bonus. Some friends have recommended 20 ga over 12, and gas operated over mechanical. I'm aware that gas operated requires a bit more cleaning. I've been looking at price ranges between the Fabarm L4S and the Remington V3. So... I would love to hear some recommendations for: 12 vs 20? Barrel length (24"?) And maybe a few specific models that would fit the bill. Thanks, and Happy New Year! [/QUOTE]
