 Favorite scatter guns

My favorite shotgun is my Beretta 687 Silver Pigeon Sporting Clay version. I use it for general hunting as well as clay targets. It is a 12 and I have standard hunting version Berretta Silver Pigeon in 20 ga. I also have a Browning Citori that I like, but I like the Berettas better.

I also have Remington pump and auto shotguns, but I like the O/U guns because of weight distribution and feel.

I shot a Remington 1100 skeet in college. That was when it was still considered OK and proper to teach shooting in a college and have shooting teams. I sincerely doubt that they do it anymore.

After I graduated and had a job, I bought my own 1100 Skeet which I still have. Later it got a 30" full choke Magnum barrel for longer shots and later still it got a 28" screw in choke barrel. It is still a very good gun.

I also have a Remington 1148 (modified choke) that works fine. And I have a Remington 870 that I am not afraid to take anywhere. (Including a few places where I might not want to take the Berettas.) The 870 has a slug barrel as well as a 28" screw choke barrel.

For light weight I like the 20 ga Beretta, but the weight is not a big concern for me.

I don't use it a lot, but I have a Savage 24V which is 20ga under a .222 rifle barrel. I should have the .222 rechambered to .223 which I shoot a lot more. This is a nice gun to take on desert camping trips.

I also have a Springfield Armory survival gun. It would certainly qualify in the top ten for the most butt ugly guns in history, but the .410 combined with a .22 LR barrel is a nice combo to keep in an airplane or truck. I keep few .410 slugs along with a few birdshot loads with it.

Technically these might be called Drillings, but they are crude compared to some of the European versions that I have seen. I like the versatility in one gun if I am going some place where I don't anticipate using it.

When camping, for example, it is nice to have a gun that could handle two or four legged varmits, but I would never anticipate hunting with such a gun, but you could. You would just be carrying around an extra barrel that you probably cannot use in any normal situation. For a camping trip, I would generally take one of these and a pistol of some sort.

The Stevens is an OK looking gun, but the fit and finish are not high quality. The Springfield looks like a parkerized machine part. It doesn't even have a regular trigger, but has a squeeze handle trigger like used in very cold weather with mitts on the hands.

The Springfield "survival" gun was one I bought expressly to throw in the back of a small plane. If you are forced to land in a rugged place, even a .410 and .22 LR would be real handy.
