Ive used both a canuck hunter and charles daly 601 tactical and both have been great so far. Not tons of range time on them tho so YMMV

I would honestly suggest a Bullpup semi auto shotgun. Those things are amazingly fun to shoot.
Take a look at the FD12 for starters.

The OP specifically wants a shotgun for bird season, not a shotgun that swings like a plank to shoot cans and zombie targets, at the range.

Would be the last thing to look at for what the OP wants!

The thread is almost a year old. Can the OP update us on what choice was made?

When I purchased my M37 Ithaca 28 gauge with a 28 inch barrel, at first I was determined to purchase another 24 or 26 inch barrel for it.

But the more I handled it, the more I prefered this barrel length in the hunting fields.

He said he had decided on a 28 gauge.
I too would like a field report if he has found the time to shoot/hunt with it.
28's are getting expensive to feed these days, but if it performs well then the expense is worth the fun.
Pinfire, you aint getting grumpy in yer elder years , those points are articulated very well, thank you.

For upland hunting, you aren't likely to shoot more than a few boxes of shells per year, if that, so cost isn't a big deal. And my hunting loads cost the same, regardless of gauge. For skeet, I reload, so the 28 gauge uses less shot, and is actually slightly cheaper to load.

Remington 1100 in 20g with a 28inch barrel.....
If it is Upland birds you are seeking.

I was going to suggest the same thing but he seems more interested in something new.

Frankly, I'd rather take my Superposed 20ga than a semi. Call me kooky.

Yes, so the Turk shotguns that were never bad, are even better.

Anyone had experience with the Mossberg SA-20? Its made in Turkey however. Is that a personal preference, or reliability issues with guns made there? thanks
