Well guys... I have chosen a shotgun and have included the link. Let me know what you think. I feel it meets all my criteria, including a rifled slug barrel and will shoot 3.5 inch shells. Combines the best features of the 500 and 835 series shotguns including a new feature I'm excited about in...

Yep... noticed Dicks Sporting Goods here in Raleigh had them on sale for 349.00!

More great examples and opinions! I agree that I need to put my hands on the weapon I choose first, so to that end, I'll be heading to WT's as they have most shotguns recommended here in both new and used. Of course, I'll be taking a page of notes with me thanks to all the well thought out...

Chad, keep the 357 close, but keep the bear spray even closer. Your much more likely to get out of such situations unharmed using bear spray than if you use a 357. When you hit a charging bear with a 357... all you do is piss him off, which makes matters worse. When you hit a charging bear with...

Thanks Sheepdog... I've just put those titles on the to do list.

Wow! Great suggestions and views guys/gals (?)... Please keep them coming. I'm trying to keep up in researching all your suggestions.... :) A difficult, but fun exercise! Not trying to change gears at all, but if I go used, what are the most important things to check in terms of condition of...

With economic woes seemingly growing to catastrophic levels, the real probability of defending one's family while putting meat on the table is growing ever more likely. If you had to pick just one shotgun to protect your family while hunting everything from quail to deer and bear... which...

If there is any consolation in this... it's that scum like this guy will get what's coming to them 7 fold...

Thanks CBob. Just got back from my local gun-shop (WT's Guns in Goldsboro, NC) and they appraised the value between 650 and 700 for the package. A solid 400 for the rifle since it'a in near perfect condition and between 250 and 300 for the scope... so I feel really good about that...

Not exactly Jim. I want a nice 270 or 30-06, but found this and thought I could work a trade, but wanted to know If I was even in the ballpark. Just hoping to run across someone who had extra 270 or 30-06 and wanted a very nice varmint rifle in exchange.

I would greatly appreciate a little guidance in this area as I know a lot of you good folks have much experience with this particular weapon. Thanks!

BTT Thanks...

Hi guys! I've just picked up a mint (less than 40 rounds) Ruger M77 Mark II in 220 Swift Varmint Heavy Barrel and am wondering what she's worth. The Rifle also has a beautiful heavy Nylon sling that matches the finish color. There is also a nice (95/100) Pentax Light Seeker 3X-11X with zero...

Ruger M77 Mark II in 220 Swift Created own thread :)

Sonier....I like what AWorthyOpponent said in inviting them over to shoot a few rounds if they will listen to a brief safety lecture on gun and range safety....BUT If that doesn't work out....you could always get C&C certified so you can teach C&C classes...then those nosy neighbors can take a...

I dislike hypothetical...

I think it's pretty clear, irregardless of what state you're in. Calmly ask the trespasser to leave. If they refuse, calmly retreat to your home and call 911 irregardless of what this person has to say after they refuse to leave. It is important not to engage this person in banter (once...

This one is easy.... Bear Bells (don't laugh...they work!) Bear Spray Good Dog! You'll never see one!!! But...if your friend insists, give him your P 220 with alternating HP and Slug in same mag... That's what I carry when hiking...and haven't seen a bear in years!!!

All valid points from everyone...I would just add that marriage and life involve compromise. Good luck!
