Mine will be a shotgun, I think! Wanting a gun designed just for forest grouse hunting. Ha a Browning double auto many years ago, was the best grouse gun I ever had. next was a Remington 870 Special Field. Now I have a mod 37 featherweight, pre 62 in 16ga with a 28" barrel and thinking of cutting the barrel down to 24 or 26". Probablu 26 first, just in case. Checked with Ithica and to barrel that old a mod 37 requires a kit so the newer barrels will work. $500! Think I'll go with cutting off the barrel first and see how that works. Not gonna worry about choke right away. in grouse woods over pointing dog's I'm not sure it will matter. thinking about a rifle too,something in 260 rem or 6.5CM
