    Any bad press on the Mossberg 590A1?

    Might 590A1's action is smoother than most 870s. I can work it with a single finger. Trigger is clean 5lbs, has very little travel and overtravel. Doesn't rattle too much. There's nothing cheap about the gun, it has not plastic parts, all the metal parts are machined, and the finish is very...

    870 Extraction Issue - Please Advise

    Aftermarket steel extractor, the express extractors are MIM. Might be able to see if a stronger extractor spring will help. I'd also get the ejector checked, might be pushing the shells off the extractor too soon in some way. I'd just go with a mossberg, they have two extractors that have...

    Riffle or Shotgun?

    Mossberg 3in1 combo. Around 600 bucks, three barrels (rifled/cantelever scope rail 22", turkey 24" with nice sights, 28" bird barrel), four chokes (turkey, imp cil, modified and full), all camo, pump action. Cheaper for 3", the 3.5"s are just around that price range. Don't listen to people...

    Best Caliber That Never Took-off

    In North America 6.5x55, 257 Roberts+p, necking up a 300WSM case to .458, 10mm Auto, 45 Super... There's a few others out there I'd like to see... Mainly some 9.3 calibers. Classy. MOST OF ALL: SABOTED ROUNDS. SABOTS = WIN. We need to make good sabots that let people throw little bullets...

    .458 Caliber Wildcats?

    458 Socom is a bit too much like the mild 45-70. It's awesome to have that power in an AR, but up here we can only go to shooting ranges with those. I'm talking about a bolt action rifle I can take to bear country. Nothing wrong with the 45-70, I'm just quickly finding that getting a bolt gun...

    .458 Caliber Wildcats?

    I know a few wildcats out there like the .458x2 and such, but has anyone necked up a SAUM case to .458? Ability to have the same or bit more than a 450 Marlin in a short action bolt rifle using a rimless, beltless case would be nice.

    870 Marine Magnum or Mossberg 590a1?

    @bushmaster1313: But that's exactly what I addressed... Mossberg shotguns are made that way. Either way, it's cool. We may just be having a miscommunication where we're saying the same thing but in a different way and it's confusing one or both of us. Carry on, my good man.

    XP 100 in 458 win mag?

    .458 Win Mag pistol? Get ATRS to make you a gill brake. It's what Rick has for his 18.5lbs .50BMG, tames the recoil. I'd buy that thing ON THE SPOT.

    870 Marine Magnum or Mossberg 590a1?

    @Gleaner26: What was the issue? @Bushmaster 1313: Next time you handle a mossberg, open the action and try to see if it rattles. They only rattle as there needs to be a lot of room between the forearm and the barrel since the barrel gets thicker at the chamber. Explained at minute 2:17 in...

    338 Federal or 45-70

    *Reasons to take the .338 Don't reload Ability to comfortable shoot more than 200 yards with less drop Preference for bolt action rifles *Reasons to take the 45/70 Hot load potential (goes hand in hand with how good you are at taking recoil) Superior for dense wood, closer range hunting (a...

    870 Marine Magnum or Mossberg 590a1?

    The only 870 I'd get would be Police Magnum or Wingmaster. You'll get a thousand old guys coming in and talking about how 870s are the best and Mossberg are cheap junk, but it just ain't so, especially not current production Remington and Mossberg guns. Remington's quality control has seen a...

    Really, Really , HURTS! Maverick Mossberg 88

    If a shotgun hurts you, you're doing it wrong. Unless it's a single shot (lighter than any mossberg) with a hard buttplate and you're shooting 2oz (TWO OUNCE) turkey magnums. Then you're allowed to say it stings a little. Even then, with some practice, with some getting used to and with the...

    inexpensive home defense weapon vs high end.

    One thing I wanted to mention. I've been making shotgun slugs for cheap practice out of birdshot. I don't melt them or anything, I just close the shot cup with tape (no it doesn't leave residue, I've made that pretty definitive after the hundreds of shot-slugs I've fired). This basically...

    inexpensive home defense weapon vs high end.

    Many guns can be good for home defense, cheap or expensive. Boils down to knowing how to properly use it and using the right load. Even a cheap single shot 12ga with buck can be very effective in the hands of someone that knows how to aim, fire and reload properly. A guy that fumbles and...
