This is the second part of our obligatory guns episode. If you haven’t listened to “Shoot What you Got Part 1” I highly recommend that. Henry Norman (@quail.guide.dog.man), Caleb Norman (@sowega_upland) and I, Sam Baker (@everymanupland) have walked through the shallow end of the upland shotgun world, now we cover some of the specifics— brands, prices, details! We are certain that we left out your favorite gun, or the one that you’ve had your eye on so here are some quick take aways:

1. Try your best to hold and mount the gun you’d like to purchase. In the shotgun world, fit is everything.

2. If at all possible try to shoot a buddy’s gun of the same make.

3. Most upland guns have wood stocks. The one on the website is not the gun you’ll be getting (with a few exceptions). If you’re into aesthetics— which I am— you are going to want to see the exact gun you want to purchase. Shop around and see a few examples if possible.

4. Finally, don’t let people talk down to you because of your choice. We all like different things in a gun. This is about fit and form. Function, for the most part is covered by a warranty.
