My first skeet gun, bought 44 years ago, was a 12 gauge Model 12 Winchester. Since then it has been joined by a Model 12 riot gun (ex-police department) and a 20 gauge Model 12, plus a 12 gauge Model 37 Ithaca, with a Cutts Compensator, and a Browning 3 1/2" 12 gauge, which I use for duck and goose hunting. Since I grew up shooting a Browning five shot automatic, at first I had to remind myself to operate the slide action, but it soon became a conditioned reflex, even though my other guns are all doubles of one kind or another. I find them good pointing guns, very easy to operate and very rugged. I don't know what else you need in a repeating shotgun.

I think pumps and automatics tend to be a bit on the heavy side for quail hunting, where a lot of walking is involved, but for stationary hunting, like dove or duck hunting, they are ideal. A Model 12, with six in the magazine and one in the chamber is a truly formidible defense weapon, especially loaded with 00 Buck.
