i have a 12 ga that take's 2 2/3 shells or a 20 ga that take 3 inch mag's as my back up gun? what is better leaning to the 20 ga mag it is alot lighter

I'd say take the best gun that you feel comfortable with, which ever one makes u the most comfortable, take that one. personally i use my 20 ga. mossburg, 3 " hv, 1 5/16 ounce 6 shot. but u use what makes u comfy. and have a great hunt

yeah just use what you feel comfortable with like what bushmaster was saying. i use an 870 express 12 but i shoot 2 3/4 shells in it. i could shoot the 3 inch magnums but the 2 3/4 inch magnums shoot well. so its just a matter of choice.

Kerr, depends what you are hunting and where.
I sometimes take my Savage 24V 30-30/ 20ga 23/4 & 3in
with #2 buck when hunting where there is alot of swamp.
Sometimes I take my Mos 835 23/4-3in-31/2.
It all depends.Just hunt safe!

might want to check out you size again i think it is probably 2 3/4 i have never heard of 2 2/3

Deer-Hunter me either on the 2 2/3! But the Sheriffs Dept. has 21/2 for female dupties.

Shoot both guns and take the one you feel most comfortable with. Make sure to know your maximum range with both guns.

LOL it is a 2 3/4 shells
