10 ga. o/u

OP, you can occasionally find American Arms-branded over-unders. It's probably your best bet -- you see them in longer barrels for waterfowl, and also shorter barrels that I believe were intended for turkey shooting.

We found one right in our area Armsport Pedersolli Deluxe Trap grade. Nice gun , needs wheels , way to heavy for me. But he liked it enough to buy it.

IMO a 10g really doesn't have an advantage over a 3.5'' 12g especially in ammo availability and cost.. There are a few options out there, the CZ Swamp Magnum is a good one..

It does not matter if there is an advantage or not he just likes to shoot a 10 ga.

I find the 10s still pattern larger shot better than the 3.5" 12s. Not trying to argue its just been my experience and why i still use 10s for divers and geese on the big water

I haven't patterned a 12/3.5 against a 10 gauge but I'd bet that the 10 patterns better just due to the shorter shot column. Availablity and cost may be a different issue though.

Your field experience may differ, but I found my BPS hit ducks like a hammer at extreme range, while the 3.5-inch 12 gauges were no better than the 3-inch shells.

The OP definitely didn't ask about anyone's opinion on 12g vs. 10. Glad his buddy found what he wanted.
