And what exactly would we discuss on this 12 gauge website? ZZZZZZZZZZZZ Aaaah, aaah, aha....Winchester Model 12 'Featherweight' 28" Mod, or 26" IC. Arguably the best classic pump action repeater ever offered to upland game shooter? From a far these are often overlooked in rack by being mistaken for Mossberg 500 clunkers with wood stocks.

Easy, Jag. I hear those are quite popular with Sven and the ‘crew’ from East nowhere Minnesota.

And what exactly would we discuss on this 12 gauge website? ZZZZZZZZZZZZ Why we would have a lively discussion about all those small bore snobs who are offended that we are shooting 12 bore guns w/ 7/8 or 1 oz loads @ game while they stuff their 28 & 20 ga guns with the same weight loads (& often more in the case of a 3" 20) & claim to be more "sporting".

Count me in the 12 Gauge Society. I have hunted with 20 gauge, 16 gauge and 28 gauge at different times and enjoyed them all, but for a number of years I have only been using 12 gauge vintage guns. I use 3/4 oz., 7/8 oz., 1 oz. and 1 1/16 oz, depending on what I am doing. So it is all comparable to hunting with a 28 gauge or 20 gauge. I enjoy game scene engraving on vintage guns and there is more of it on 12 gauge guns and more room for an engraving artist to work (or to have worked a hundred or so years ago). A 10 gauge or larger offers more room for the engraving artist, but the really big bore guns are a little too heavy to carry at 8, 9 or 10 lbs. I don't hunt ducks any more and I don't want to carry that kind of weight around in the uplands. I use 12 gauges weighing from 6 1/2 lbs. to 7 1/4 lbs. and depending on the barrel length, I can carry a 12 gauge in that weight range around all day. For some reason, shorter barrels in the 7 lb. range are easier for me to carry than guns with longer barrels of the same weight. Finally, let's not forget that a nice 12 gauge vintage gun costs less than a 28, 20 or 16 gauge comparable gun. A plus for me!

A 12 gauge Ithaca model 37. The kids at the range are tearing it up on their trap and skeet leagues with model 500s. I'm really glad to see them there. Best, Ted ___________________________________ Is there a trap league for kids in Detriot?

Let us start with a modern portable SxS punt gun a 5.4kg 12ga 89mm chambers where you can fire both barrels at the same time. Very, very advanced design..... Luger 'Duckling'...... You can even choose plastic stock as an option. I guess it's kind of like a super Model 21? Time to put away the Ole' Super Fox?

I agree. Love 16's more than anything but you can have a 12 tamed to whatever you need. I just need the other gauges for excuses to buy other guns

As I explain to my wife, the other gauges are needed as well.
