Help deciding on a rifle or shotgun?

January 25th, 2010 by eranio

I’m in the market for a new toy and I can’t decide whether I want to go tactical shotgun for home defense or long range high-cal rifle for sporting. I’ve looked at the Remington 870s with the pistol grips as a shotgun and then also some .308 and .50 cal rifles but I just can’t make up my mind. Any suggestions or advice?

Also, keep in mind I need to keep it below 00 so that will probably eliminate most of the higher-end rifles.

Thanks in advance.

Mossberg field/deer shotguns?

December 9th, 2009 by eranio

I am considering buying a Mossberg 12 ga. combo shotgun. It would be my first hunting shotgun, they seem to be of reasonable quality and a good value. My question is they have a model 500 combo gun and a model 535ATS combo gun. The only differences that I can see is the 500 is chambered for 3" shells and the 535 is chambered for 3.5" shells. I would like to eventually use it to hunt turkeys, deer and black bears. What would you recommend and why? Thanks in advance.
With the rifled barrel, I will be using slugs as well.
I think that a 30-06 kicks pretty hard, do 3.5" shells in a 12 gauge kick much harder than that?

Are all Mossberg shotgun trigger assemblies interchangable?

November 14th, 2009 by eranio

I own a Mossberg 660, and I was wondering if there is a trigger/trigger assembly made specifically for this shotgun, or if I can use any trigger assembly? If I must use a specific one, please tell me the model of the gun, or where you believe I could find the part online. Thanks in advance!

Can I safely remove the gas plug out of my semi-auto shotgun?

November 5th, 2009 by eranio

I have a Mossberg 930 semi auto shotgun. I cant use the slug gun in PA because of the semi auto. Can I safely hunt with the gas plug out to make it a manual reload? Please only knowledgeable answers as I don’t want to end up like Elmer Fudd. Thanks in advance.
