Let me add another note, from one of the late Mike McIntosh's great experiences gunning afield. He was a invited guest at a pheasant hunt years ago at a private club in SD-- He mentioned the guns used by members of his group, and their guides, and one was the later revised Remington 32, aka- the 3200. They had a warm-up on sporting clays, and one of the fellows had a 3200- he shot it quite well, but 90% of the time they were out on the 50 bird course, the 3200 was in a scabbard in the golf cart- now walking behind flushing dogs after pheasant in SD in early Nov-- a heavy gun like a Rem 32 or a Krieghoff, or even the older B25 Belgian made Browning Superposed--unless you are built like Jesse Venture or Arnold Schwarzenegger, well, I'll stay with a 12 that weighs 7.5 lbs. or a tad less- just my choice--
