So now that dove season is well in the rear view mirror I figured that it would be appropriate to talk about what I think is the best dove hunting gun for me. I believe it to be the Winchester 1400. The reasoning behind that is that it only shoots 2-3/4 loads. It shoots them beautifully. I fell like I'm shooting a 20 gauge wrapped up in a 12 gauge. This dove season I really hit them hard. It would shoot all day everyday. If it was cold I went if it was hot I went if it was raining and the doves were there this gun came with me. It hasn't jammed one and I enjoy shooting it. Not only does it weight as much as a waffle but recoil is still minimal. It swings really easily almost the same as a over-under. Which I love the price also. I picked this gun up for $130 when I was having troubles with other guns. Figuring that I could use it for dove season get everything straighten out in other guns and give it as a present to a friend or cousin. I still own the same 1400. So needles to say it stayed with me. Even for casual night up at the trap course it works just fine. Cleaning it is not hard like some other guns. All you need is a philips head screw driver to completely take the gun apart. So that was kind of random segment but I rate this gun a 8-10 for its high performance in its specific category. But on a general scale for someone who doesn't have sentimental value in this gun I would give it a 5-10 just because it is so limited to one category and thats dove. So i'm giving it the award for best dove gun. Hope it helps you please comment if you have a new topic. 
Here is a link to a 1400 on gander mountain it is way over priced but is got specs.
