When one says grouse gun the only thing that instantly comes to my mind is 28ga. They just go together so dammn good. Sorta like Peanut Butter and Jelly. Ithica Classic Doubles NID 4E 20ga is my go to now that I am temporarily without a 28ga. ![[Linked Image]](http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk244/1marine89/ithicanid4e003.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk244/1marine89/ithicanid4e002.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk244/1marine89/ithicanid4e001.jpg) That-ell work!!!! Nice.

Battue,
It has many days under it hunting in Maine for Grouse and Woodcock. The mistake was taking it to ID to hunt chukar. Got a few dings in the stock from that trip. Oh well one of these days I will have it fixed. But I need to buy a new grouse gun 28ga.

Creekhunter, if you don't have a few dings from chukar hunting, you aren't doing it right! The only issues are: are the dings on you, the gun, the chukars, or all three.....I usually end up with the majority of the dings on me! Once stepped off a small cliff in the Snake River breaks in a dense fog. On the way down, I had time to think "Jeez, hope I don't break my Elsie!" (I didn't, just me).

I was tempted enough by the RBL... I'm a real sucker for a SxS with a nice schttick of wood. Generally I dig English but that NID looks like black walnut. Pretty gun.

These days it's a BPS 20 ga.

Just curious what you guys who regularly hunt ruffed grouse use. My favorite so far was a Fox 12 gauge, 26" barrels with open chokes, followed by a Browning 28 gauge O/U.
Got to agree, Fox: ![[Linked Image]](http://i1180.photobucket.com/albums/x401/chiefbsa/003-15.jpg)
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I use my ole reliable Stevens 311c SxS 20ga 28" for all my bird hunting. The blue is still in great shape but the wood, OMG there isn't any clear coat left on it. I don't have the heart to refinish the wood cause I might put a jinx on it. When I take it out of the gun cabinet the wife says " your taking the POS gun " you must be going after some birds.
Ken I had one in 16ga. It was a great shotgun that never failed me...ever... ...so I sold it.

Favorite late season no dogs-Savage 220 single shot 20 gauge.
It was this boy's favorite shotgun until he turned 12 and got a 20ga SXS...52 years ago.  ![[Linked Image]](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y7/luv2safari/scan0002.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y7/luv2safari/scan0001.jpg)

Lotta good lookin shotguns in here. Lets ugly this thread up  Its far from my favorite, but when its always with you. You tend to use it the most. Youth 870 20ga with set of fullsize stocks on it. SpeedFeed based thier full size stock off of a oompa-loompa I believe as its still way short. ![[Linked Image]](http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z217/mud_bogger/guns/45017.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z217/mud_bogger/guns/45018.jpg)
