i have used an o/u before, but when the birds arent really flying well you might want to get that third shot of at the flocks that you do get to come in.

i use a 12 g. ruger red label o/u, love the quick reload and the versatility of having two chokes at once with the selector. i use mod and xtra mod, and freely switch between the 2 depending on range. i get some funny looks when i carry this pretty gun into the swamps, but what the heck. dirt washes off.

Because sometimes that third shot makes for birds in the bag.

Yup, that Martin is a sweet shooter; smooth draw, no handshock...I love it!

On a good day, I can pop the empites and get off a third and fourth shot while the birds (Geese mostly) are still within range...and we only have a two bird limit
