LAST EDITED ON Jan-07-08 AT 00:44AM (MST)[p]This is an easy choice for me. I have an old Beretta A302 12 Ga. that I've been shooting for over 25 years. I bought it for my wife before we got married, as it is a 2 3/4" gun with a short 26" improved cylinder barrel. I thought it would help her get into duck hunting with me, but neglected to think about her shooting a 12 guage with no recoil pad. I took it out to try it myself, and fell in love. I've been shooting that same gun now since about 1981, and average over 20 days per season in a duck blind with it, in addition to doves, pheasants, sporting clays and other shooting. I've got a number of other shotguns, but this is my shotgun for about 95% of my shooting, other than during turkey season. It's been all over the place with me, California, Oregon, Nevada, Montana, Alberta, Botswana, etc.
