Why it made the list
An inertia-driven autoloader under six pounds. There is nothing better for walking miles of grouse or woodcock cover, and the inertia system stays clean because it does not vent gas into the action.
Pros
- Remarkably light to carry
- Inertia action stays clean
- Fast, lively swing in thick cover
Cons
- Recoil is sharp with heavy loads
- Can be finicky with very light shells
Best uses
- Grouse and woodcock coverts
- All-day walk-up hunting
- Mixed-bag upland trips
