Poll: Your Favourite Gauge

[VictoryXC]

What is your favourite gauge? It is tough to only pick one!

I’ve hunted with a 12ga when I was a kid. Shells were cheap and available and I could hunt everything with it.
I mostly hunt small game though and as I gained experience and my aim got better I found myself blowing rabbits squirrels and grouse to pieces.
I now use a Stoeger coachgun in 410 imp/mod cylinder and it’s perfect. A direct hit and only just enough BBS to kill but still not shredded. I also have several 22/410 combos that I use as well.

Favourite? 16.

 

[1963beretta]

I gotta go with the 12......just way to versatile to pick something else for the hunting I do

 

[canvasback]

I have to go with 16. It's not really reflected in the guns I currently own but that's more to do with opportunistic buying and selling. I'm down to two 16's from a high of 8. But there are a few on the wish list.

12g does everything for me and cheaply for the most part.

I use a .410 sxs for grouse in fairly open country but if I am in thick brush my 20 gauge sxs all the way. 12 gauge sxs for all my cowboy action matches and 12 gauge pump or semi shooting clays.

I'm not a hunter, but for clay target shooting, 28 gauge is my favourite (I will even shoot trap with it).

 

[Falconflyer]

I don't have a favorite really, I like them all!

I shoot the 12 the most, next the 28, then the 20, then 16 and 410 are about even for the last place.

28 for grouse
20 for trap
12 for geese

Also have a 16 and .410 just for fun

12 would be my fav as i can hunt anything in ontario with it. Loaded anyway i choose from light to heavy. Birdshot buck shot and ball. Easy to find in any platform. Can be had light or heavy. Offers enough space to become an artistic canvas. Although lately ive been craving a 410. Still like my big tens though

 

[saskbooknut]

12, 16 and 20 - all depends on the interesting gun going by.

 

[gunsaholic]

I guess 12 gauge as an over all gauge but it really depends on what I'm going after. I don't mind the .410 in the bush.

 

[fishslinger]

My pick is the 20 because I find it to be very effective and I appreciate the lighter weight shotguns it can be found in.

 

[28 gauge]

Have to go with the 28 gauge,with the 12 gauge as number 2.

 

[Steppenwolf]

My pick is 24 gauge.

 

[VictoryXC]

My pick is 24 gauge.

You are a Moderator. You can edit the pole, add 24g and show it in the lead. Haha

 

[saskcop]

12 gauge is the only gauge.
