I have an 1100 Sporting with 27” barrels and I love it for any kind of upland bird hunting, it’s probably my favorite “fun” shotgun. It’s not as light as some of the other guns listed, but it’s still lighter than most bigger framed guns and I don’t mind it a bit. It’s also my girlfriend’s favorite gun for sporting clays.
I also have an ATI O/U, and it shoots well, too- and I know that’s not a high volume kind of gun, but it’s fine for hunting. Since the GF took a liking to the 1100 for clays, I will use this one more for hunting going forward.
