[QUOTE="cjjtulsa, post: 1822587, member: 6146"] Pump vs. semi is a personal choice, for the most part. As to the 2-3/4" vs. 3": in my experience, it doesn't make a difference on upland game. If you want to hunt waterfowl, you'll want something with a 3" chamber. I've read all of the hype on the net about how you need this or that to hunt pheasant, but it isn't true. 2-3/4" field loads will take down pheasant all day long (providing you're shots are at reasonable distance). I was born and raised in north-central Kansas, and grew up hunting upland birds. I watched my grandad kill pheasant for years with 2-3/4" Federal Game Load 6's. I'm sure you're going to hear that you "need" a 3" chamber for upland birds, but it's not true. My brothers and I must have shot dozens of them with 2-3/4" 20 gauges, so don't let anyone tell you you "need" a 3" magnum 12 gauge for pheasant. [/QUOTE]
