How many of you guys use a two-holer on ducks?
If brilliant men are roses then I'm just a field of daisies.

Took a look at the Yildiz Special in 12ga. yesterday and was actually impressed with it. Briley makes chokes for it, too. I briefly considered it, but I make the third shot count pretty frequently and I'd hate to give it up.

My dad shots a Ruger RL when duck and goose hunting. He's left handed.
Dear Lord please bullwhip me for saying this but I agree, Marcstar is in the lead. Please nobody use this as a quote!!!

for shooting ducks over decoys 2 shots is plenty, I have found, at least in my case, that the 3rd shot is a waste of a shell. Sometimes taking a shot that I shouldn't.

I did it my very first outing, but switched to something more suited for duck hunting vs upland game

i did, but thats cuz its my favorite. would rather not take it duck hunting, too pretty of a gun.

Browning Citori Lightning for me. 12ga. Best shooting gun I have ever put in my hand. I also have found that without the third shot, I focus on shooting more accurate which has made me a much better shooter.
The wild life of today is not ours to do with as we please. The original stock was given to us in trust for the benefit both of the present and the future. We must render an accounting of this trust to those who come after us.

No way dude! Don't get me wrong, it's sporting an all, but I cherish every second I'm out there. I'm thankful for every duck that comes in range and there is no way that I'm going out there with 66% capacity of what I'm allowed.
I have a O/U for dove hunting, that's good enough for me.

I use to own several old Belgium Browning auto 5's that I shot Bismuth in. I sold the guns and now Im using up the shells.

I do. Browning Cynergy Looked at one of those today...pretty nice. The one I looked at was black but had a crazy recoil and chin pad and a 3.5" chamber.

We were just getting started last season and had to buy guns. I looked hot and heavy at the Mossberg Silver Reserve and really wanted one(still do today). We wound up with 870's for our duck guns. We do a lot of trap and skeet shooting and I have a lot a friends that own two holers. They are some sweet shooting guns. I sure wish I could afford to buy a Browning Citori 625 Sporting with the adjustable comb for the range. Niiiice!

The 12 gauge Yildiz's kick like a mule without shooting duck loads, so I would be hesitant to purchase one if ducks were the primary game it would be used on. I have one and really like the gun, but I am not going to shoot anything heavier than 1 1/8 loads out of it, and that is even with an aftermarket Limbsaver pad on it.
If I was getting an inexpensive O/U for duck hunting I would look long and hard at the Remington Spartans. They are Russian-made and not real pretty, but they are built for abuse and are heavy enough that they may soak up some of the heavy recoil from waterfowl loads.
