Remington 870 Wingmaster LW (Lite Weight) 20ga. 28" mod. vent rib
with #4 or #6. My dad bought this for me when I was 12 and I'm 47 now so that put it about 35 yrs. old. It has a very few little dings here and there
but would still rate about 85 % in condition. If it could talk, oh the tells it would have.lol I just bought my daugther the same thing in a 28ga. It's also around 30 yrs old but looks like new. With the addition of this 1 have have a complete set of Wingmasters 12,16,20,28,410. In my opion if you are just rabbit or any small game either the small bore (20,28,410) would do just fine. The 20 I have, has shot rabbit,squirrel,quail,dove with no problem.It still shoots great,it can't help that I've gotten slow in reflexs &
eye sight isn't what it once was.

my 20 guage is a short model to put on my 4-wheeler, so it won't be catching on trees.

Benelli M-1 20 gauge with Cylinder Bore Choke and #7 1/2 shot or Improved Cylinder with #6 shot. I think people use way too much choke for small game. Just my thoughts. I can kill Dove, Pheasant, quail, rabbit out to 40 yds with this setup.

Mossberg .410 pump with about 2 inches cut off the barrell and 2 inches cut off the stock! SCATTER GUN that doesn't get hung up on your coat when you throw it to your shoulder. . Love it and wouldn't trade it for nothing. :D
