I belong to a rifle club, and I am in fact interested in shotguns more than I am rifles. Would you go for a SxS shotgun, or a U/O, I prefer a U/O single trigger, what do you like most.

Which is the better of the two rifles? Or are they pretty much equal? Which is more accurate? What are some of the better features of each? This would be for the .308 and .300 calibers. I’m thinking of maybe getting one but not sure which.
Or if anyone has experience shooting just one of either of the two, you can place you comments here on how you like it and how it shoots.

OK, Here’s the deal. BIG-5 just sent out their newest flier, and it’s got 2 Mossberg 12 gauge shotguns to choose from. I went in today and held/looked at both. One is the persuader/cruiser with the(I believe) 20 inch barrel, pretty sure it holds 7+1. I think it handles 2-3/4 or 3" shells. The other is within the 500 lineup, not sure the exact model. It has a combo of two barrels, one 18.5", and one 28". I believe it also handles 2-3/4 or 3" shells, and holds 5+1. Both are on sale for 9.99! That’s a pretty good price, if you ask me. Which would you choose, and why? What are the pros/cons of the barrel lengths, and is it worth the slightly longer barrel for the extra 2 shells? Has anybody had any experience with either or both of these, and if so what did you like and dislike about it/them? I’ve heard pretty good things about Mossberg, what do you think? And also, what are the pros/cons of the different shells and loads for a 12 gauge? I’ve never owned a shotgun, just rifles and handguns, so I don’t know much about the different loads. Thanks for any info or help!
Lance T, or any others with similar usage question. I have never owned a shotgun, so I want one that will be fun, reliable, will work for home defense, as well as many other purposes, and something to sort of get used to shotguns on. I mean before I lay down the big bucks for something "nicer".
Metropol, I’m very aware that the 500 is a great gun. What I mean is before I lay down 0 for the mossberg 930 spx, which I am considering. Thanks to all, for the advice and opinions. I still have the rest of today to make my decision.

A couple days ago, I bought a Stevens model 311 series h 12 ga. double barrel shotgun. I bought it from my neigbor. We both live in Washington state. The guy my neigbor got it from lived in Portland, Oregon. From what I’ve heard, it’s illegal to trnsport firearms across state lines, but my neigbor did it, not me. So, does anyone have the right to take the shotgun away from me? I also heard that this rule only applies to "handguns", and not shotguns or rifles.

Hi guys, I bought a Benelli Vinci for waterfowl hunting and love it. Can I use slugs in it? They have not yet come out with a rifled barrel because the barrel also contains the action. Any suggestions? I guess I could use buck shot, but I have heard it isnt that great. I have been invited to go deer hunting and am not sure what to use. Thanks, guys!!
my friend bow hunts, and he is not sure what the details are. rifles are not legal for deer hunting in illinois.

For next deer season. Will the scope stay zeroed in with the recoil of 3 inch slugs? I’ve never had a problem with scopes on my rifles (.30-06, .308) going out of whack because of recoil, but the recoil on my shotgun makes the rifle recoil seem like a love tap.
I can go down to 2 3/4 I guess.
Shotguns are all we can use in Iowa; Rifles I use in WI.

In YOUR state, can you carry a shotgun or rifle in your car? I know where I live, a concealed pistol license permits you to carry a loaded PISTOL in your car, but where does that leave shotguns and rifles?

Isn’t it apparent that shotguns are way more powerful? A 12 gauge shotgun’s caliber is .729, when pistols and rifles come as weak as .22. Not that I’m unhappy with the laws, but I just find it sort of odd.

I want a 30-06 and as I am a student it is listed at a good price. Anybody have any experience with it. I will likely start off using just iron sights if that will give a little more clarification. I have a mossberg shotgun, but I know nothing about their rifles.
it does have iron sights in certain variations of it, but not on the first bunch listed.

I served probation and not jail time and i still have a valid voting card that i use. I know convicted felons lose the right to vote but i still have mine. I know i can’t own a conceal weapon such as a hand gun but what about shotguns and rifles.

i have a Remington model 1100 20 GA. shotgun with a rifles slug barrel for deer. I’m trying to get into waterfowl without buying a new gun. I’m having some trouble finding a cheap smooth bore bird barrel for it.

The Vz. 58 is a 7.62mm assault rifle designed and manufactured in Czechoslovakia and conventional into service in the late 1950s as the 7,62 mm samopal vzor 58 (“7.62mm submachine gun model 1958″), replacing the vz. 52 self-loading rifle and the 7.62x25mm Tokarev vz. 24 and vz. 26 submachine guns. The vz. 58 externally be similar to the Soviet AK-47 but is internally a completely different design based on a short-stroke gas piston.
Design details – Operating mechanism
The vz. 58 is a selective fire gas-operated weapon that bleeds expanding combustion gases generated in the container from the ignited cartridge through a port drilled in the barrel, 215 mm (8.5 in) from the board room, aperture into a unfilled cylinder located over the cask that have a short-stroke piston. The vz. 58 does not have a gas monitor and the full strength of the gas pressure is exerted on the piston head, propelling it toward the back in a single impulsive blow. The piston is driven back only 19 mm (0.7 in) when a take on on the piston rod butts against the seating and no extra group is workable. There is a light go back spring held between the piston bear and the seating which returns the piston to its ahead location.
The locking system features a falling breech lock hinged from the bolt and housed in the bolt carrier that contains two locking lugs which descend into and engage locking shoulders in the beneficiary’s internal guide rails. The weapon is unlocked by the short tappet-like stroke of the piston rod as it strikes the bolt carrier and drives it rearwards. After 22 mm (0.9 in) of unrestricted travel, an wedge-like surface on the bolt carrier moves under the breech locking piece and lifts it up and out of engagement with the locking recesses in the steel body.
The rifle’s iron sights consist of a fully adjustable front post and a tangent rear spectacle with a sliding notch with range denominations from 100 to 800 m, graduated every 100 m. Besides this, the left side of the rear prospect leaf is marked with the letter “U”, for snap shooting, firing at moving targets and night combat at ranges up to 300 m. The front picture base also serves as a mounting platform for the vz. 58 edged bayonet.
Additional equipment supplied with the rifle includes: 4 spare magazines, a magazine pouch, vz58 bayonet and scabbard, cleaning brush, muzzle cap, oil bottle, unified sling, front view adjustment tool and a threaded blank-firing adaptor.

Few questions I would like to ask, 10 points to the best answer. And before I list my questions, the intentions of buying a gun is not for wreckless USAGE, yes I am mentally stable, and yes I am a college student. So with that said
1. Whats the highest caliber gun I can buy at my age? Semi, auto, shotgun? auto shotgun perhaps?
2. Where is the best place I can buy this, in the Los Angeles area?
3. Can I store this gun, lets say in the trunk of my car? (Acura TSX?)
4. Do I need a register a permit or license to own my gun, and if so, how long does it take?
5. Is Big5/Walmart (hardly any walmarts in the LA area, but a lot of Big 5) good places to buy shotguns and rifles?
Thank you.
