M ossberg makes a very servicable O/U with a .410/28ga. 2bbl. option and youth and full size sutt stocks. They are excellent to deal with for repair and replacement parts. These also have interchangeable choke tubes. As far as guage size goes, I prefer .410 for practice as it makes it slightly harder to break clays yet developes good shooting skills. The 28ga. for hunting limits the cripples and helps gain confidence in the field. Some fifty years after getting my first .22, a Marlin mod.100 bolt action single shot, my gut tells me to go old school, that when in the field for the first time, one shell and if a kill is made, then you get another otherwise tomorrow is another day. Thats what my Old Man did with me and to this day, I hunt with only single shot rifles and SxS shotguns. Leave those semis to the military for offense and defense. Never saw a grouse shoot back. If you cant make it with one or two shots, then DON'T SHOOT!!! Thanks to all. Jim D.
