I’m totally ignorant about firearms. Answer this in terms of the pluses and minuses of rifles, handguns and shotguns. I want something that can be used as both protection and to hunt with. Please include what gauge and type of gun I should consider.
I don’t want to spend anything more than 0–if possible.
I’m of age, clean record and live in Kentucky.
Can you feasibly use a shotgun to hunt larger game such as deer?

I live in Michigan below the rifle line which means we have to use shotgun. We are planning a hunting trip in Wisconsin where rifles are allowed. I was thinking about using my AR-15 with a scope and a 5 round hunting clip I bought. Is .223 strong enough to kill deer? Have anyone used it with success? I figure if the military uses it against people it should probably be good enought to get deer too, or is this logic flawed? Bonus for personal expierence.
I know there are other better rounds to use, but I dont want to buy another rifle to go hunting in rifle country once every couple years.

I have 3 achers of land, 2 of which are wooded, I use shotgun to hunt, but Don’t want to have to pay the Government more money to just hunt on my own property. If I do hunt, can I still have a butcher, butcher the deer I get without a hunting licence?

it has silver inlay on the handle. one side is of pheasants and deer on the other side. it loads with 16 g. shell for the shotgun and 7 mm mauser bullets for the rifle. We are sure it is an antique, but haven’t had it appraised yet. can not find a patent number on the gun.

I have the 935 waterfowl/turkey combo and want to use this shotgun when I go deer hunting this year. where and how much is a rifled barrel? can I use one of the 2 barrel’s I have?

I need a shotgun for under 0, and i want it to be able to hunt dove, squirrel, turkey, duck, and geese with it (i have a slug gun for deer.) I can not decide between anything i find. It has to be a 12 gauge 3 1/2inch because of the waterfowl.

I have done the research and decided that i want a pump action over an automatic.

I have read some automatics will not cycle 2 3/4inch shells.

Unless someone can say a shotgun that can confirm the a shotgun that is chambered in 3 1/2inch chamber can cycle a 2 3/4inch then i am only wanting a pump.

I also know that there is not (to me) that much of a noticeable difference in cycle times between a pump and an automatic.

I am also going to want one with wetland camo due to the fact that i like waterfowl hunting the most, if not then i will just get a wood and metal version.

So can someone tell me a gun that will fit my few needs.
well i just did some research again and it looks as if i will be buying a browning bps or Remington 870, can someone clarify which would be better for my needs.
i now found that some Beretta’s are nice, if anyone can tell me which on is the nicest or best between these 3(i will hopefully use these for my whole life) then that would be nice.

nevermind….forget the guns, just say what you guys think are the best for a lifetime, i will not spend more the 0 though
ok…i am deciding between a remington 870 supermag, and can anyone tell me a really good cheap automatic?

I am looking for a shotgun at around 0-0. I am going to hunt rabbit, squirrel, turkey, and deer. I may eventually go waterfowl or dove, but i have other guns for that. I will buy a slug barrel for deer. My dad asked our local gun store dealers for tips on what to do, and they said any mossberg or remington will do fine, but make sure i get a mossberg barrel(yes there is mossberg barrels for remington guns, and i have been told that those barrels are the best, if anyone has anything to debate over that then say so.) So try to limit it to remington or mossberg.Here are my questions and statements.

Is a 20 or 12 better(i can handle a 10, and i love recoil, so no real need for 20 unless you guys suggest it.)

For the turkey, squirrel, and rabbit should i use a full or modified choke?
Should i get an automatic or a pump?

Is there any specific model you suggest, and if there is give me reasons why.

The gun needs to be able to be put through abuse, and weather.

I am wanting it to be wood, with a blued barrel, but it can be synthetic, but it HAS to have a blued barrel.

I want it to be reliable, and last me at least 30 years if I take care of it.

I want a 3inch for both, but if it is an automatic it has to be a 3inch which can also shoot a 2 3/4inch just as easy as a 3inch, but if it is a pump, it can be a 3 1/2 inch.

I will buy the slug barrel in the future, so the gun itself can be anywhere between my price range.

If there are any more questions please feel free to ask, but answers will have to wait until i get out of school first. Please put your input and any suggestions, give me good explanations and reasons to help me out please because i have been looking for a good 2 months and have not really narrowed it down to a lot of things, and Christmas is coming up soon and i am going to ask for this shotgun for Christmas. Thanks.
Ok lets fix some things up, i will only use th 10 gauge i said for waterfowl and waterfowl only, not everything…i know a 12 is bigger than a 20….and mountain man shutup because i am 14 and i have shot guns since i was 5, so shutup with your stupid comments i see on every questions.
Ok it looks like it will be a remington 870(someone suggest a model) or a mossberg…which one should i choose?

I just got my deer permit in the mail, in my state we can use a shotgun, muzzle loader or handgun for the firearm season. I have been thinking about using a handgun. The only legal handguns are center fire revolvers or center fire single shots. 4 inch barrel minimum length. Any suggestions on a accurate hand gun?

Why don’t they make rifles or shotguns that use this action? Besides looking cool, it would benefit from the ablity to chamber different rounds of the same bullet size (like my grandmother’s 22LR/22MAG revolver, swappable drums) as well as being a semi-auto that has nothing move after the shot fires (for better accuracy) and can be single action/double action, so you can pull back the hammer for your first shot on a deer, and then pull the trigger through the next five as it is running away. No magazine to misfeed, and very easy to clean compared to what is involved tearing apart a pump or semi auto shotgun.

If they had a revolver-action rifle that was not just a stretched out pistol, but actually looked like a normal rifle if you covered over the action’s area, and it was chambered in a good deer round and you could easily mount a scope on it, i would definitely purchase one if i could budget it.

Thanks in advance!

I only know a little about shotguns. I want to know what the best shotgun is for deer and turkey hunting and trap shooting, but i also want a shot gun that i can shoot skeet, duck, geese, quail, pheasant, and raccoon. What shot gun would be the best for that, obviously pump action, but what gage? I want to know what gage. and if their is also a good brand.

Also i want a long barrel. Is their any shot gun that can do all of that or at least most of it, and if it cant do it all please tell me what it can do. I know i definitely need it to be able to kill deer and turkey

I want a shotgun that shoots stright, looks cool, maybe even camo color that I will use to go hunt for quail, turkey and deer and maybe even go shoot bottles if I just feel like messing around. I dont care if it is pump or semi auto and I would like to find one that holds at least 6-8 rounds. Does anyone know of any shotguns I should get or look at? Thanks

I will be hunting mostly turkey and deer. Maybe some duck and pheasant. I will be getting a 12 gauge unless you would suggest otherwise. If you have any other suggestions for a gun in the 300-400 dollar price range, please tell me. Thanks

What’s the best Shotgun for deer hunting? I like tactical shotguns.
I would hunt with my rifle, if the state of Indiana would let people hunt with them.
