The emotional versus the practical is clearly a factor here too as well. I have very few inherited guns left (most were just not exceptional) so for me it's less of a choice. I was also thinking purely in the sense of the pragmatic when it come to actually hunting, but I completely get it. If I had a special connection to a family firearm (that was also a practical game gun) I'd be torn as well. As I mentioned earlier, this presumes several things continuing forward, including your physical (& legal) capacity. This also presumes access to a place to actually hunt (with hopes of success). Given that, however. I'm thinking about a doublegun (of course!) that still fits well, that is light & lively, and that I can either find ammo for (or reload for). So for me that'd either be a 16 or a 28 right now, with a 20 being a possibility. A light 12 would be wonderful as well, but it'd have to be quite exceptional.
