I lost my ideal pheasant gun.
Ended up having to leave it with a woman I couldn't stand.
Probably the most non-glamorous "ideal gun" I would ever list. But 20 years ago I was murdering GOBS of roosters over a pretty little liver & white Brittany named Belle. She was unreal !!
I toted a Winchester 1400 XTR 12 ga. with a 22" VR barrel and the IC tube screwed in. Shot Super X 7 1/2's. Seemed like I just COULD NOT miss with that stubby little gun.
Over a Springer I'd just switch to a mod or full tube and run hard 5's or 6's.
