I have just recently taken the plunge into trying my hand at a little bit of upland hunting. I don't exactly have a shotgun suited to upland shooting though. I have an 870 12 and an 1100 12 already. But those are both full choked guns used for predator calling. I'm in Kentucky so quail and grouse with the occasional pheasant are what is on the menu.

I really don't want to spend a whole lot. Especially for the amount of time I'll be pursuing birds. So let's say under 1,000. Not really into pumps but I could be persuaded. So what is out there that you bird guys would reccomend to a guy just starting out?

I have been looking at the franchi 48 20 or the 28.
