I started hunting with an old pre WWI J Stevens A&T Co 12ga double.
Next gun was an 870. For purposes of "Utility" Ie being able to hit what I was shooting at I went back to the J stevens. I did try to shoot the 870 for two seasons, so it was not just a one hunt phenomenon. I know that others shoot then extremely well , But I didn't. Have never had a desire for another shotgun which didn't have two barrels. A Two Piper is my Utility Gun.
