Thank you very much so you mean a shorter barreled gun?I am not sure what a ring neck grouse is...
But I do enjoy hunting both Ruffed Grouse and Spruce Grouse.
I use both 20 and 12 gauge shotguns
In Flintlock , pump and single shot break open styles of action.
I also prefer a more open choke , like Modified or Improved Cylinder.
#7 1/2 and #6 shot seem to work the best with my guns.
2 3/4 size shells also work nicely...you won't need a 3 inch or magnum shell to get a Grouse.
As far as brand , model and a gauge...
You need to find what works for you and how you hunt....
Which means looking at lots of different shotguns and if possible trying them out.
And to be blunt here...with $200 you can find a shotgun...but your choices will be very limited.
Grouse hunting involves lots of walking and usually quick shots at a smallish , fast , bird that can switch flight direction in a moment.
So I like a gun that carries well and "Points" quickly when I shoulder it.
