    Default What's in your upland arsenal?

    I've got a 20 gauge single-shot that I only use for bunnies and squirrels; a 20 gauge pump for pheasants and small game and a 12 gauge pump and an over/under for pheasants, waterfowl and doves.

    I have an Ithaca Model 37 in 20 gauge. It was the first gun I ever bought with my own money. $100. I have an 870 Express in 12 gauge I use for turkey and waterfowl. I have my dad's old 870 in 16 gauge, but that's pretty much retired. I have a Dan Arms 20 O/U that I bought for my dad when I was in the service, but he nor I ever use it. I have a Sears and Roebuck .410 single shot that I plink rabbits with sometimes, but it's mostly my training gun for my kids. I have a Turkish 12 gauge my brother in law brought back from Turkey, I'm just holding it for my son because it's really his. It's never been fired. I have a .22 Marlin I use for rabbits every now and then. And last, but certainly not least, my favorite gun is my Benelli Montefeltro in 20 gauge. I use that gun most often.

    870s in 12 and 20 gauge and a 20 gauge 1100 that was my grandpa's he bought in the 60s I believe (I could be way wrong). That 1100 has killed A LOT of quail, doves, and rabbits in its time.

    11-87 Upland Special in 20 ga for grouse and early pheasant. Mossberg Silver Reserve 12 ga for regular pheasant, Mossberg 500 synthetic 12 ga for bad weather/back up waterfowl. Mossberg 935 waterfowl only and 870 12 ga w/ new surshot stock and 3 different barrels(28", 24" turkey, and 24" rifled w/Nikon). I like spome variety in the fall...Someday I will trim this down, but not anytime soon.

    I carry a 20 gauge Ithaca pump when I'm in the field (mostly for quail). I love it.

    I really enjoy squirrel hunting w/ a .22 handgun. I just used open sights last season:

    But this off season, I mounted a red-dot scope to it and have really gotten accurate. I can't wait to take it out and try to get a few squirrels with it.
