9/23 Dear MOTD gun nuts: My dad bought an "estate" in the middle of
bumfuck nowhere. There are wolves, wildcats and inbred Frenchmen
roaming the hills. I'm shopping around for a shotgun for him.
Looking for something sturdy, not too expensive, with reasonable
range. It's not so much for hunting as for "git-the-hayl-off-mah-
property-ya-varmint". Not tremendously loud would be a plus. -John
\_ Big 5 has Mossberg 500, go to http://ammoman.com for Tactical 00 buckshot
in 12 guage
\_ Benellis are nice. I like the M3. -- ilyas
\_ Shotguns can be fairly generic. If you want range, look at a long
barrel. Figure you're loading either birdshot or rock salt, but
that's not going to help you out past a fairly short range.
\_ This is my BOOMSTICK!
\_ Thanks--what's "short"? He's a crack shot, and the idea
is to be able to nail something the size of a razorback at
about 80 feet. Any particular brands I should be looking at?
\_ mossberg. remington. hell, any reason not to get a bolt action
rifle in .223 remington and 20inch barrel (varmint size)?
\- Why is it that you are not getting the Remington 870? --psb |
