10+ years back I bought a Browning 20 ga Gold Fusion on an impulse buy. It has been sitting NIB under my bench, boxed up. I have thought about what to do, but have mostly planning to keep it to give to one of the Sons one year. It has a 26" barrel and is on the lighter side with weight.
I was out elk hunting in CO a few weeks ago, this guy we jokingly labeled 'the hillbilly' came by camp one afternoon. He was a minimalist when it came to hunting. He was shirtless with an upland vest on. He carried a single shot 20 ga with the hammer, H&R or similar. One funny is the hosts of the camp hadn't seen a grouse in this area for over 10 years. He was asking about any grouse sightings.
I did admire his shotgun choice, noting that one doesn't need a $1200 gun to bag a grouse, should you see one. I think going back a few decades, the SS shotgun was commonly used.
