re: Shotgun for Quail Hunting

you can't really go wrong with a gun for quail hunting. It's not like you'll need 3 1/2's or need to be concerned with gas/inertia. Most quail hunter's prefer a traditional (often stylish or rare) firearm. I would look into L.C. Smith's, various browning's (superposed*, citori). Ruger's Red Lable is a solid gun too, as well as Winchester's 101.
