I actually did some field hunting years ago for waterfowl, I was amazed at all of the birds. Looked at the M2 the other day, top of the list at the moment.

I shot a Win mod 12 20ga 20" barrel over quail and snipesfor years. In 1966 I was giving a brand new FN Brn 12 ga 28'' barrel that I used forQuail, Doves and Ducks for years.

EDIT: BTW I still have both of them...

beneli 12ga montifeltro best light kicking feild gun i've ever shot

The CZ sxs is nice. I have an old Beretta 12 ga w/26" barrels that I have used for years and love it. About 3 years ago, I inherited a 28ga that is my quail & dove & skeet gun. I love it. My next one will be 12/20 combo and have at least 28" barrels if I can't find 30"

Hubby has a 12/20 combo Franchi which isa nice gun. Great value for what you get too. It's hard to beat that CZ pricetag too. Nice gun for the money.

We use our field bred springers to hunt everything. A well bred dog from field lines and a responsible breeder should serve you well for years to come.

Happy shooting!
