Home Forums Birds & Dogs Upland Game Upland Citori 16 gauge for pheasants ?

Sad news L2S !!! I am so sorry to hear of your dog's passing!! We never get over our lost dogs, we only adjust and learn to move one..take care,

Good girl Ms. Scarlet.

Oh no, Bruce I can't believe it. We am so sorry for your loss.
Dang dogs. They can break your heart so many ways. They have to be great to make the pain worthwhile. Again we are so sorry.

My dad has the 20 and 12 version of the upland with 24" barrels. For some reason they are about the best pointing bird gun I've ever been around. I would buy a 16ga. version in a heartbeat if I ever found one.

I could so run a Upland 16 for ditch pigeons and more.

I shoot a contender single shot with a 10" barrel in .410 bore and I have not missed a pheasant in 3 seeasons with it. I have dropped 19 cockbirds, 7 grouse, 46 chuckars, and 18 cottontails this year alone with my contender pistol alone. (only hunted birds 11 times and rabbits 9 trips this year, 2011) That is with a 3" #6 shot .410 load in a single shot with a 10" barrel. You guys are crazy and you could make an arguement about anything. Shoot what you shoot well and who cares about the other guy!

i bought a citori lightning 16 gauge 26 inch invector choke barrels when they first came out in 1987. we had lots of birds back in those days here in iowa. buy the 24 inch inch gun if you like and dont worry about the barrel length. i like a straight grip in my side by sides . not so much in a stack barrel. ounce to 1 1/8 load good to go. i still shoot that gun better than anything else i have. probably because ive simply shot it alot and i do not think about it when it comes up.
