And I have a "new to me" 12 gauge to try out for the first time.
And plenty of Aleve in the cabinet for afterwards. ~L~
You need a shotgun like mine.
I have a Remington Model 1100 20 gage. ive had it all my life. It was made somewhere around 1970 but maybe even before that. it doesnt kick at all. has a gas recoil and is a wonder to shoot. I never needed a bigger gage shotgun because this one is so accurate and so easy to shoot.

LOL! I know! my dad has a Browing 12 gage. He loves that gun. he and I used to hunt together all the time, and some of my fondest memories are walking thru the woods on a cold fall morning.
it is amazing how great my Rem 1100 is even now after 30 years of use!
PS, Dad also has a double barrel 12 gage made from Damascus steel. it was my great grandpas and is at least 100 years old. It shoots black powder but no one has shot it in years. it will one day be passed to my son.

That's a classic gun Ferd. They don't come any better for the money. Your son will have something with a lot of good memories to inherit.

Well, I actually have a Remington Model 870 Express 20 gauge. Its my mainstay and will be the one under my arm come opening morning. Its a pump and packs a bit of a kick but not near as bad as some 12's I've shot.
However, I've always wanted a Remington 12 gauge semi-auto so my husband and HO went in together and got me one for my birthday a few months ago. I haven't shot it yet so I really don't know what the kick will be like. It will be a secondary gun to my 20 gauge...one I will use just for fun after I down a couple with my tried and true 20 gauge.
I also have two sweet shooting rifles but mostly I hunt in an area where rifles aren't allowed. I have a Remington Model 742, semi-auto 243 and a Browning Bar semi-auto 30-06.
And then theres my muzzleloader...I have a TC 50 caliber Black Diamond. Talk about sweet! My first in-line muzzleloader often failed to fire and caused several missed opportunities. The Black Diamond has never failed to fire even with damp powder pellets. It was the funniest thing...I was target practicing and didn't know the pellets had gotten damp. I actually saw the bullet come out and land 10 yards in front of me.
