Most often used and favorite...are not always the same.

You structure questions which are not simply answered, for me.😀
Have to pass.

 

Most often used/favorite.

Your choice

 

I have children from most of the above, hard to choose a favorite.

 

Yeah, you need to change the title "Hunting" is a lot more than just upland.

 

My first post?

 

Most used...Italy, I imagine.

 

Like their owner, all my guns are old outdated and made in the USA. Fortunately we all still spend time doing what we were meant to do.

 

American made only!

Most used shotgun, Mossberg pump action, Model
500, the label says 410 bore Crown Grade Bantam
24.0” VR fixed full choke, youth size stock. It is black
with black synthetic stocks.

Most favorite, rarest and hunt Pheasants with, is my
Ruger Gold Label English stocked Side by Side 12ga.
Beautiful figured wood and very light weight, 6 pounds.

 

Italy for sure

 

Pretty much an even mix between Japan, Italy, and USA at the moment. At one time Belgium would have been a walk off but I've sold all but two over the years.

 

My upland guns are all Italian doubles: 12, 20 and 28ga Berettas and two 16ga FAIRs. Fit me perfectly

 

Always interesting that most people say that their "favorite" is what they already have. If you asked the same people if they could have any gun available on the market, I suspect the answers would be different.

 

Current favorite - Italian FAIR Jubilee 16 gauge O/U for Upland bird hunting.

 

France.

Phage

Gentlemen,
The USA home of L.C. Smith/Hunter Arms produced my families favorite guns. Our family way back helped Hunter Arms get into business. L.C. Smith - Americas Best! John Houchins, Nick Makinson, Dave Buehner, Walt Schiessl.

all the best,

I gave up on hunting 10 years ago. At that time Remington 1100 was my favorite. If I were still hunting today it may be a Beretta, not sure. !!00 always got the job done for me.

 

Winchester Model 42, Quail slayer. Annual private ranch hunt .410 only.

 

Grouse & Woodcock: German, 20ga. Merkle 122-E
Dove: Spanish, 12ga. AYA Round Action #2
Pheasant, Sharptails & Hun’s: Italian, 12ga. Beretta Black Onyx
M37 16ga. 2 barrel set, 28” & 24” as a back up for all

 

My favorite is a Beretta 391 20ga. I've been dragging it around for the last 20 years. Before I figured out the spaghetti guns fit me better and were easier for me to hit with, I used to drag around a Remington 870 with the then new LC barrel or an 11-87 SP for waterfowl.

 

No love for the Turkish guns...

 

I own two Dickinson SxS's and they are very good guns, but not necessarily my favorites, but my 28ga is really close.

 

Without a doubt. For me its Italy with its Berettas. I have six of them.

 

I only have one vote, but two favorite guns.

One Japanese and one American. Different guns for different hunts.

Both 20's...Charles Daly/Miroku for pheasants, and a LeFever Nitro Special for woodcock, and the occasional grouse.

 

Italy is running away with this poll. Can't say I didn't see this coming. They make so many guns there. There's a pile of different guns made in the same valley!

 

Germany. I have been pondering the idea of culling my collection/accumulation of the odd antique and modern stuff I have gotten over the years and investing in a Merkel 210E. A 16 over 8 x 57 with a removable low powered scope would cover 99% of my hunting needs today.

 

Beretta and Rizzini for me.

 

Beretta for me

 

Hey! The turks are on the board!
