Samuel,
Good question on the 42, my granfather was a model 12 guy and left me a number of nice 12's,16's, and 20's. I continued to collect more and loved to shoot them. Then got into "bird dogs" and doubles. I have hunted them exclusively except for chukars, which I used a 20 ga. model 12 on until 2 years ago, when I fell and completely ruined a very nice gun.(to the point of having to have it filed and reblued). I hadn't considered the 42, don't own one now.
Jim,
I've been pleased with success with the quail. Lost only 2 birds last year. Collected many more. I've shot about 50 so far this season, one trip. I use 8 1/2 and 9's AA target loads. I know my range with an IC/MOD gun. I would like to explore the possibilities.
