Well, I hardly ever shoot slugs. I use rifles for deer pretty reliably. I've never gone turkey hunting but I wouldn't mind trying...basically, this would be a bird and duck gun. I know there are awesome dedicated fowl guns but I'm trading here, not dishing out for a new gun. Beggars can't be...

Any particular reason for that?

Hi, I have a chance to trade a LNIB Ruger 10/22 for a used Mossberg 835. The Mossberg is in great condition. It's the older variety, around 2006, with a camo finish. The little Ruger is a great rifle but I have no use for it. My only other shotguns are a Remington 870 XCS for HD and a...

Even though I already had my eye on it, westerns in general made my Marlin 336 all the sweeter. I know it's not exactly what the cowboys used, but that lever-action is retro cool.

Love hearing these stories. Maybe it's because I associate shooting and my gun collection with my dad. He's always had this larger than life presence since I was a little boy, and I think safe shooting lessons are one of the greatest ways for a father and son to bond. If you have kids (daughters...

A Wingmaster with paper route money? I wish it was still that simple :) I also learned a very important shooting rule my first time out...freshly ejected casings hurt when you pick them up, despite your father telling you not to. That summed up my dad's philosophy towards us kids: "Oh, it...

Since millions of Americans are responsible gun owners and enthusiasts, I thought it'd be interesting to hear some people's stories and experiences concerning the first gun they ever fired/owned. I was around 7 when my dad took me out to shoot my great granddaddy's .22 Marlin. I still have it...

It's a great piece, but there's a catch...from the picture, it looks like the stock has been replaced with nice walnut while the pump is still the dull regular wood. Thoughts?

1 Remington 870 Marine Magnum XCS, 12 g for HD 1 Mossberg, .410 for pest control and small game 1 Ithaca, 16 g doube barrel, sentimental piece 1 Browning BPS, 12 g for hunting and clays We're a diversity-loving family

Would one value them about the same as any other Mossberg 500?

I have the option to buy a New Haven 600AT 12 gauge. I had never heard of these, but research tells me that it's just a rebranded Mossberg 500. What is their approximate worth? This looks to be in very good condition and comes with two barrels. Also, would Mossberg 500 parts and accessories...

If they did to your car what they do to mine, you'd be talking war too :D

Well, I went out yesterday to see if I could thin them out a little bit...turns out there's a likely mix of starlings, crows, and blackbirds going after her feeders and garden, completely scaring away the finches and cardinals. Honestly, I've never seen birds go through seed like that. Their...

Well it's unfortunate that they're so ignorant and don't realize what the kill zone is after seeing their buddies go down...on the other hand, it provides ample practice :D As far as the .410, I'm glad to know it can be relied on for this job. I've only shot three soda cans with it in over a...

Good point, do you think a .410 could handle crows reliably at around 20-25 feet? Assuming they're not flying, of course
