Really depends on what I'm hunting. If it's pheasant or turkey then I'll use the SxS, if it's a shotgun comp then I'll use the pump with slugs.

For a day of hunting on LP, I equip myself with a SxS plus two boxes of birdshot and a pump 12 GA with 10 rounds of slugs. I dislike scopes, I'm a normal shotgun psychopath. MORE shotguns, EW, MORE shotguns!!!

I'm using the side by side for the pheasants and the pump for everything else -often with buckshots unless its an elk, those little impacts everywhere are just amazing-, I love how they-re textured it, the sights are clearer than the SxS and the sound is lovely to my ear. Plus I can ruin my stats with the SxS rifle, but I don't wanna ruin my shotgun stats, that's why I don't hunt pheasants with it :lol:

i think, i would be using the pump shotgun more than the SxS.......the reason, 6 shots of rapid fire compared to 2 shots and then reload...when trying to hit a small, moving target, i need all the shots i can get..... :lol: :lol:

I have used the SxS for the pheasants. I tried the pump on the clays and the rifle sights felt wrong to me. The SxS swings so very well and the sight picture with the bead at the end just feels like real bird hunting. The second follow up shot is so very quick as well.

I use the pump because i'm used to it. The pump and I have a long history well before TheHunter.

I agree. The pump's 2nd shot is also too slow and it just doesn't seem as fluid as the sxs.
