One gun I really regret selling ...

I inherited this French made 16 gauge side by side shotgun when I was young. It is a Berthon Brothers made at St. Etienne Armory . It was a very lightweight shotgun that was a dream to carry.

For some dumb reason, I decided to sell it. I have Dad's Browning Sweet Sixteen Lightweight which will never be sold. But for some reason, I figured to minimize things.

Here is an image of a nice pheasant I shot at Ocean Lake Wyoming a while back. It is such a beautiful place.

So. I have thought about the idea of some sort of very lightweight gun for upland game and have focused on a 20 gauge 3" side by side or over and under. With modern loads they seem quite capable of most upland game as well as potential waterfowl and maybe a turkey.

I have also contemplated a 28 gauge. With the new 3 inch chamberings it seems like it is no slouch. I have seen a handful of MGM custom Contender G2 barrels in 28 gauge but they are literally like hen's teeth.

So. What would your ideal upland shotgun look like? Just gleaning ideas. Thank you
