Nothing unique for spring hunting except maybe my Knight TK 2000. Now for fall hunting here in Pennsylvania I use an early 1970's vintage Ithaca/Tikka LSA 55 Turkey Gun. O/U 222 Rem/12 Ga. I have a Leupold VX 1 2x7 scope on it. I have taken fall birds with both the rifle and shotgun barrel. It gets a lot of looks and comments from other hunters I run into in the woods.
