What's funny is I'm going to start looking at shotguns next. Wife said she'd rather have a shotgun for home protection than a pistol. For someone I thought was totally anti-gun I'm so proud.
Remington 870 Express......my pheasant, duck, quail, turkey......and those pesky clay pigeon slayer. Otherwise known as old reliable!!!
Monday I bought a Mossberg 500 mariner with telescopic stock and pistol foregrip. Nice piece. Have not shot it yet, but it should lay waste to any unfortunate soul that dare enter my compound uninvited.
I'm the odd man with an old 16 gauge side by side. Oh, I see there are two of us! I'll bet there's a good chance they could be the same. Mine says Ranger 101.6 on the left side and 5100 on the other.
I seem to be on a real shotgun kick. I have a Remington 870 Wingmaster inherited from my grandfather. I also picked up Mossberg Maverick 88 Security.
And this weekend, the addiction continued. At the gun show, the weakness overcame me, and I picked up a Rossi coach gun. It's a 20ga, with 20in barrels and exposed hammers. My dad had one in 12ga when I was a kid. It kicked like a mule, but it was fun to shoot. My brother wound up with it after he passed away, and I have been unable to pry it out of his hands, so I grabbed this one. I love a good SBS with exposed hammers.
I don't have much in shotguns but I'd like one or two more. I have a
835 Mossberg. H&R Topper Single shot 20 gauge. And an pretty old (I have no idea how old because I just can't find info on it) Triumph single shot 12 gauge. I'd like to get more info on the Triumph just because I have only seen this one shotgun. It was my Dads so it will never get sold. I really don't care about the value I just want to know more about it.
I want to get a couple double barrels. a 16 gauge and maybe a 20 gauge too. I want them with hammers on them. I just like the look of it though
I've got a Benelli Nova pump. First gun I ever bought. Had it narrowed down to that or the 870, and the 870 just felt too small in my hands. The Benelli felt perfect.
I am an old man and was always taught to appreciate the quality and features of a Browning Auto 5 made in Belgium. My favorite shotgun was made in September, 1953, and it shoots harder and gets more distance than any of my newer shotguns.
Nothing gas operated about it and it will handle low power and high power loads.
IN addition, I have the full Reminton 1100 series in each gauge. While they are nice guns, I take the Browning when I want to do serious target or game shooting.
