For both upland work and sporting clays, it's been an 1890 Westley Richards 'BQ' boxlock 12 bore w/30" damascus tubes. Choked only at .001" and .003" it gives really nice IC patterns with today's plastic wadding. This gun has seen approx. 3,000 rounds a year of low-pressure stuff for the past fifteen years and has only needed a replaced ejector spring. This will no doubt anguish ol' Lowell with his low opinion of Westley's, but it has been a real dependable favorite here.
