Whether you are going hunting for upland birds, doves, or clay shooting, our following picks are sure to get you through. Upland hunters often prefer a slightly lighter gun than their waterfowl counterpoints because of the amount of walking involved. This is an area where gauge selection, barrel length, shell selection, and weight, will have an impact on your hunt.

GOOD - Mossberg 500 Field

The Mossberg 500 is one of the most popular all-purpose shotguns of all time. The 500 model has a ton of options and sub-models. The combo packages are interesting as they come with an extra barrel so you can set up your Mossberg for bird or deer at a competitive price. There are .410, 20, and 12 gauge models available in a variety of grips, finishes, and barrel lengths. The 500 will start around $500, a little under that for the youth models.

BEST - Browning A5 Sweet Sixteen Upland

The Sweet Sixteen is back and better than ever with an all-new model that looks familiar with the classic humpback design. With a 26” barrel and weighs just 5.12 lbs, this gun is a joy to carry around the field all morning. It’s an extremely good-looking gun. The 16 gauge is regaining popularity due to it being the sweet spot combining the impact of a 12-gauge with the weight of a 20 gauge. This firearm is designed for 2.75” shells and starts around $1,800.

BETTER - Weatherby Element UPLAND

If you checked out our Tukey section you already saw the Element Turkey on your list of preferred shooters and the Upland variant is equally impressive. The element upland comes in a 26 or 28” barrel with multiple choke offerings. They also have a waterfowl version if you plan to spend more time in the wetlands. You can expect to spend around $700.
