Perfect shotgun for the fam

[Rotmaha_]

Looking for a versatile shotgun that's perfect for family outings especially when it comes to chasing both waterfowl and upland game. I'm considering pumpaction model with a 26" barrel, and I'm also leaning towards a 12gauge.

Any perks to going for a 20 or 16 gauge instead of the 12 for this kind of hunting? Would love to hear what you think!

If you're out hunting with your family and want everyone to have a good time, you might want to think about using a 20gauge. It’s got a lighter recoil, which makes it easier for everyone to handle.

Agree...

While the 16-gauge is a great choice, I’d say for a family outing, comfort and ease of use should take the front seat. That’s why the 20-gauge really stands out.
