Next on my list: Shotguns

[Doc1647545523]

someone's rustling downstairs brb grabbing $300k shotgun

 

Until their attorney uses the "$300,000 murder-gun" defense. :dumb:

 

:gtfo:Don't exaggerate--the price was only $295,000, and that's for the pair.

 

 

lol "thank you sir for giving me the honor of being shot by that wonderful piece... gurgle cough gergle die"

 

That's a gun best used for shooting driven fowl, and should be handed to you by a gamekeeper. I can't imagine shooting an intruder with such an elegant weapon .... although it might be appropriate to shoot a king with such a gun.

 

 

Even if I was a billionaire I wouldn't own these, although they are more works of art than guns

 

Well, if I were a billionaire, I'd want one. And I'd use it. Although you're right, it's a work of art. Made by some of the world's best gunsmiths and engraved Bulino style -- so sublime, magical.

Go handle a couple shotguns, Brian. The ones listed in this thread will suit you fine, whichever way you decide to go. That being said, I'm going to throw out a random suggestion; get a Stoeger Coach Gun.

 

This suits the "daughter's boyfriend" role perfectly.

Doc has been watching Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

:no:

 

I never understood the whole engraving thing....

I love my 870, but I have a soft spot for this bad boy, due to the sheer badassery of it:

If the bayonet doesn't get his attention, load up the mag tube.

Brian, Im a bit picky about my fire arms and I was looking for similar use. Everytime, it came down to 870 or 500. Some say this, others say that. I found nothing to really point me away from one over the other. I picked up a 500 for $265 from a dealer and have had no issues with it. It's simple. If I have to use it to defend the home, it's going to be confiscated anyways, so why go all out. It works all the time and is a throw away gun if need be.

[Scotty2Hotty]

Ghost Rings make me happy.

Im starting to look for my next purchase and am new to shotguns.

 

Thoughts on this http://www.impactguns.com/mossberg-500-special-purpose-12ga-185in-6-shot-includes-pistol-grip-kit-50411-015813504119.aspx

 

Primary use will be target practice, home protection, and scaring my daughters boyfriends.

 

I had that exact same gun, felt cheap and crappy with a terrible trigger. It sat behind my bedroom door for a couple years until I sold it off cheap so I could buy something I could actually use (an 870).

 

So depending on budget either get an 870 or move up into a Benelli SuperNova or better.

How about an Arsenal SGL41 series shotgun?

Im basically sold on the 870. Im going to check one out next week and see how it feels.

It's the Small Block Chevy of shotguns, maybe guns in general.

 

You'll never have trouble finding parts for it and they are dead reliable anyway.

Exactly what I need.

[Furloaf]

870 vs. 500 is how this usually goes. I think you just need to hold one of each and find out which you like better.

 

I went with an 870 because of the safety location. Shooting thousands of BBs growing up with a trigger guard mounted safety caused me to think the Mossberg's receiver top mounted safety was very awkward.

I don't see it. The beauty in my shotgun is that I can beat the living hell out of it and it will still kill a bull moose with a 26" erection. That gun just looks like a silver smith got carried away with some peyote.

If you ever need replacement parts for an 870 I'd like to know what make and model of bulldozer was used on the gun.

I just picked up a converted saiga 12 and believe me it would scare the roughest of boyfriends.

Brian, you're welcome to borrow mine if you want to try it out on the range (Blackwing is just 3 miles from the hangout) or take it for a week or two if you want to shoot with friends elsewhere.

I've owned an 870 and a 500 12g and 20g. They feel the same to me. They always work even if you don't clean that often. Everyone should have at least of them next to the bed.

I go old school: Remington model 31. There just isn't a better pump-action out there.

Reminder: Most indoor ranges require either buckshot or slugs to work with their bullet traps. So, if you're rolling in with boss loads like Doc has in the pic you're fine but don't grab a 100 pack of #6 shot on the way to save money because they'll tell you to f off.

Don't forget the Franchi SPAS 12 under the no Budget section.

 

It gives you some neat features - folding stock with unique hook that wraps around your forearm for extra security or one handed shooting (if you're as strong as the Terminator!), and a button to switch from semi-auto to pump action. This is a great feature for using specialty shells that won't cycle a semi-auto shotgun.
