I brought my Browning 12 pump with a 30" barrel and was told by my dad and another guy that it's not a good idea....
why?
I took their advice and shot one dove

I use a pump and kill plenty of birds.

Well it's much easier to shoot a 20 with a shorter barrel. That mfer is too heavy. Has nothing to do with it being a pump

The longer barrel should give a better sight plane (notice I did not say aim) Changable chokes or fixed chokes?

Your inability to kill birds is not because of the gun.

Dunno....maybe the 30" barrel?? I still use my old 870 with a 28" modified and it does fine..

I use a mossberg pump for everything except rabbits

They might just be writes about it.

Do you have actual friends? You're nothing but a trolling a-hole! I'm pretty sure you're the most hated poster on the OB, possibly the whole site!

12 gauge is overkill for doves (and most things) IMO.

this is counter intuitive, but the most doves I ever killed in 1 hunt was with a single shot 20GA.

Because they feel the whole world should conform to their way of thinking. Plus with that 30" full choked 12 ga you'd be rolling them doves before their little pea shooters could reach them.

They said it because they are big pussies. And they're worried about you reaching out and touching the birds before they have a shot

You ask this question then are a bit of an a-hole.
I don't know why your pops told you that, you can shoot whatever you want, but was it a choke issue?
It has zero to do with it being a pump or the barrel length, if it does your Dad and other fellow are just as clueless. There is some argument for shorter barrels being easier to swing, but it aint like a 30 inch barrel pump cant be a dove killing machine.
Basically your question is not answerable because it makes zero sense. Sounds basically like two guys with little knowledge talking to another.
