i have a shotgun question…?

January 29th, 2011 by eranio

hi, im looking into buying a Mossberg 500 shotgun sometime soon, and i need some help…. i was thinking about getting the 12 ga. model, however, i started to think more and more about getting the 20 ga. when this past weekend i went out shooting skeet and shot about 75-100 shells through a 20. and my should was somewhat sore, and i thought if i get a 12 it would be too much recoil. now i don’t know which gauge to buy. i would mostly be shooting skeet, hunting small game/ possibly birds, and probably deer eventually. which gauge should i get, 12 or 20 and why??? please help
by the way… i am 15 years old and about 120 lbs. im not sure of my height, probably around 5′… 5-6" tall.
thank you all for your answers. i was just wondering because i don’t know how much a recoil pad would work, but i am now pretty sure i will get the 12. also when i go hunting squirrel and such i have a single shot 20 ga if carrying around a 12 gets to be too much work. thanks again.

What kind of animals can I hunt with a handgun?

May 28th, 2010 by eranio

My 870 remington shotgun recently broke on me and ive been thinking of the idea of hunting small game with handguns. How practical that is? Im not sure. I reside in the state of Kansas and I know its legal to hunt with handguns. If anyone knows or hunts with handguns, what do you use and whats the best handgun to use? I still prefer a shotgun over anything, but like I said. Im pondering this idea.

Best Shotgun to Get For ME?

March 9th, 2010 by eranio

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!

Mossberg Shotguns?

November 4th, 2009 by eranio

Should i get a mossberg 500 or a mossberg 535? I will be hunting birds (doves.phesant.exc), deer, squirrel, and some other small game. I want the combo because of the rifled deer barrel. I want a 12 gauge. i have a 20 and a 16 already. Anyone ever shot both or have both? help me out!
I was leaning towards the 500 anyway. But 3.5 shells are those the ones that are like 8.00 a box? I would like to also turkey hunt.
how much is an 870 express combo. How much is a Mossberg 500 or 535 combo? I have been told that 870 are better but, the Mossbergs are LOTS lighter.
