    Default Best Quail Gun

    Quail season opens for me this coming Saturday (Oct 16th). What are some of the shotguns you folks use for your Quail? I start the morning of with a Browning Citori Upland Special, with the English stock, in 20 guage. After a couple of hours, I'll take a break, maybe grab a quick nap. (Don't laugh, those fields and woods seem to get longer and bigger every year). Then spend the rest of the day with my little short stock Monty in 20 guage. I use the promo shotshells from Wally-World either Remington or Winchester in 7+1/2 shot. That little Monty just loves those cheapy shells. Four more days until Saturday !!

    Quail are just now beginning to make a comeback in these parts.

    I haven't hunted quail in about 25 years, but I'd love to take my Highlander out for a couple of coveys.

    I love shooting quail and use an M2 in 20 gauge with 8's or 9's with good luck.

    I still use my 20ga. Fox Mdl B which was my first shotgun purchase in 1965. Something about a side by side and quail that just seems to fit. I've also used my Monty 24" 20ga but always seem to go back to my Fox, not that I don't like the 5.5lb Montefeltro.

    Best quail gun? That's like asking, "what's the best car?"

    Answer: The one that fits you best, mounts smooth, isn't too heavy to carry, and shoots where you are pointing.

    That wasn't the question, that was the thread title.
    What's your favorite quail gun?
