I hunted a lot of grouse in my younger days. I started out with a russian single shot 12 ga, then a mossberg 500, then a 870 wingmaster. All worked well.
Today I use a sxs and it's mostly because it fits me better. I can't make a 500 or 870 fit me as well as this sxs. I'd need a custom stock and when I consider the cost of that I figure I might as well put that into a faster shooting gun. Nothing is as fast as a double!
My only gripe now about my sxs is that I wish it was lighter weight and 20 ga!
