I have hunted pheasant, quail, and chukar with several different barrel lengths, the longest being 30 inch SxS and the shortest being either my Citori 12 Upland Special or my 20 Upland Special, each having 25 inch barrels. I have killed more birds with this combination of Ciroris than any other guns I own. I flatly do not like very many of the 30 inch barreled models with the exception of the Dickinson 16 with 30 inch tubes. I can shoot it well, but the overall choice and the guns I always go back to are either of the Citoris. I will say that one one occasion I mistakenly filled my pockets with 1 and 3/8 ounce number 5's while shooting an infestation of pigeons for our landowner. That was a most unpleasant surprise. I havent done that again.
