I wonder if the lead ban in CA affects dove and tree squirrel hunting? I’m planning on using a shotgun for both.
Been thinking about buying my first shotgun. Simply, I think it would be a vital tool for defense and survival. Never really been a shotgun guy. Only have shot other people’s shotguns a handful of times. So I would definitely call myself a newbie when it comes to shotguns.
The attributes I would like to see in it are:
1. Versatility – Good defensive gun. Good for hunting lots of different game and putting food on the table. Also possibly for shooting clays later at some point if I want to try it.
2. Reliable and Dependable – It’s gotta work when I need it.
3. Simple to operate and easy to maintain.
4. Not cost me a fortune.
What would you recommend? Would one of those models that come with 2 barrels be a good choice?
Thanks for your input.
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.
Iv been wanting to get a shotgun now for a long time to go along with my s&w 9ve. people have been telling me that i should definitly get a semi auto but i have had my heart and eye on the mossberg 500 security/hunting combo. most places around me though wont have it in until closer to fall. So i ask all of you, whats your opinion? do i listen and get a semi auto or do i stick with what i have found so far and get the mossberg pump? By the way the gun would be used for defense/small game/fun shooting.
thanks in advance!
Anyone remember the name of a movie where a man killed someone with a slingshot? I think the killer was Andy Griffith but cant remember. He hid the slingshot down a pipe and someone fished it out. I believe the man was shot in the back and at first people though it might have been done by a shotgun. I think it was set in a desert town. Thats all I can remember anyone know what the name was?
So I was in my local hunting and fishing store and am looking for a home protection shotgun. These are the two I am considering.
Remington 870 12 Gauge Express Syn 18" -9
H&R New England Pardner 12 Gauge 18 1/2" -9
the guy at the counter told me the H&R would be fine sense I will not be using it a lot. Just to go to the range to get used to the gun than keep it in the house. I am inclined to go for the H&R sense it is 80 bucks cheaper but still want others opinions on which I should get.
Thank you for your answers.
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?
Hey I’m tryin to find a good shotgun for under 600 bucks (no super slugs) I was thinkin of a mossberg 500, any other good ideas?
Due to my countries law you are not allowed to hunt with semi-auto or pump action shotguns.I currently own an under and over shotgun, I was thinking of buying a IAC 12ga lever shotgun (made in china) are they any good? I will mainly be hunting rabbits and foxes. how do you load the IAC shotgun.Thank You
What type of choke should i use for my Verona 12 ga shotgun to shoot non rifled slugs. Right now i have the Improved Modified in.
Any other info on and Ithaca Model 37 or A "Champion" 16 Guage shotgun will help also
Thanks Alot
The Ithaca Is a 16 Gauge and the champion is also a 16 Gauge. The guns have been passed down throught my family and I am an avid bird hunter. I love my Ithaca and just wanted to know a little more about it
The champion is a singleshot. All three have 28" Barrels and my reaserch found it to be about 90 years old. The Ithaca is a model 37 featherlight.
Hope this helps
Thanks

ANY TYPE OF RIFLE/SHOTGUN! BEST FOR MY PRICE RANGE?
I have about 00 to spend on 2 guns I want a shotgun and a rifle i could use for hunting. Honestly i want a good hunting gun, yet also a badass gun. SO not really any thing bolt action. AND i would also preferbly want a semi auto shotgun. My dad has a russian SAIGA and i like it alot. SO hit me up! I want somthing that wouldnt blow a deer in a million peices but yet take a boar down
I like to use the shotgun a lot, is the any change I could make to the settings so I could get more kills easier with it.
i want a model 1887 airsoft shotgun but cant find one. By terminator style i mean short barreled so i can spin reload it. Please leave name of website or store. MUST BE USA OR IN CALIFORNIA!!!
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?
What steps are needed to use the takedown feature of a Model1897 Winchester 12gauge shotgun
My wife wants a revolver for at home and possibly to conceal in a purse as soon as she gets her permit.
She does not want a semi auto or shotgun, or anything like that.
Just a cheap, but durable revolver preferably in either 357 magnum, or something that she can shoot 38 +P in.
Is there anything good for around 0 or less?
