The 5 Best Shotguns for Grouse Hunting | Allcocks Outdoor Store

Grouse hunting is deeply influenced by the terrain these birds inhabit. The dense cover they favour necessitates a light, compact shotgun and easy to carry in one hand while fending off branches with the other. The limited visibility in these areas calls for open chokes, as there's no need for a gun to shoot forty yards.

However, grouse guns are more than just hunting tools; they hold symbolic significance as well. Grouse hunters, more than almost any other uplanders, immerse themselves in the traditions and trappings of the hunt. This affinity for tradition is reflected in including several classic designs in this list of the 5 best grouse guns—though there's also a new classic to consider.
