At night I work close, with a red lensed spot and a shotgun. During the day, my BIL work in...

    28ga BPS

    28 gauge I think the BPS and the 28 would be a good combination, they have come up on my radar also. I have been shooting a browning o/u 28 ga. for ten years as one of my bird guns. If I do my job, the 28 will dump birds as well as any other of my guns / load combo's. You can go up to an ounce...

    Nikon Prostaff or Leupold VX-1

    You will not be disappointed with the Leupold, I have them on several rifles and have used them for decades. I "jumped the fence" last month and bought a Nikon pro staff......the elevation adjustment did not work out of the box. So back to the Leupolds.

    AK-47 vs AK-74 . Thoughts or opinions anyone ?

    47's & 74's Own several of both and have shot them extensively for years....both of them are suitable for what they were designed for.....primary advantage of the 5.45 is your load out if you were humping a combat load down range....but for the majority of AK owners & shooters that is a non...
