    Federal FliteControl 12 gauge load

    If the target is 20 yards away and is moving - a 5" of movement could cause a miss of 5". 5" wouldn't mean a whole lot if a larger pattern was used. Sorta like shooting skeet or trap - you want a pattern large enough to cover the area you are shooting at plus the fudge factor for where the...

    Best choke for small game/bird hunting

    What Oneounceload said - also - consider light mod or mod on early season birds with 6 or 7 shot - then late season maybe improved mod or full with 6 down (up) to 4 shot.

    What makes shotgun better than the other?

    If it runs and does'nt beat you up - it is a better gun than ALL the rest. Seriously - if you are looking at turkey and goose loads (maybe one of those macho 3-1/2" load guys?) - consider one of the Benelli ineritia semi autos. If you don't see any use for anything bigger than a 2-3/4" or 3"...

    My 1 year old Lanber O/U blew up last week!

    Looks like an overpressure buldge to me. Its not a straight seam split and the barrel is 'ballooned'. Certainly you shoulda heard/felt that! I'm betting it was a squib that sent the wad and shot part way down the tube. If you did not tilt the barrel down so that the loose shot maybe coulda...

    Is it that bad? Trap and skeet people..

    At the club I now belong to they are the best bunch ever - hands down!! No one is going make fun of your gun nor your skills. An invite to join a group on an adjoining field is the norm. I shoot o/u's and there is one guy that shoots for fun that brings an old, old, side by side 12Ga choked...

    Shot clays for the first time ever...

    I've never owned a mossberg that didn't beat the snot outta me - and a 2 to 400 round day of clays will do that even with the best gun out there. Probably given the choice of only these two semis - I'd take the weatherby. However - I'd rather find a nice beretta 390 or a used browning over...

    Shooting an Animal you just struck with your vehicle

    Yep - don't know about NH - but a friend here in Texas hit a deer and then finished it with a .380 - he then called game warden who promptly arrived and gave him a citation for taking with illegal firearm.

    Browning citori GTI vs XS sporting

    Get the non-ported XS - I believe it is newer as well (check the serial numbers) - but do a thourough checkout first (lever right, lockup, no excess wear/damage). Even the ported GTI may be a better deal if the XS has been abused. Personally though - I don't remember those GTI's being ported -...

    12 gauge 3" shotgun shell

    Maybe somebody has better info - but I believe it was Winchester in 1933 - the 3" Super Speed made for the Winchester model 1912. The first "magnum" 3" was the Remington round in 1955 made for their Remington 870. The 3-1/2" super magnum round was made in 1988 by Federal for the Mossberg...

    New take on choke tube storage..

    Nice work - but you have to slide out the chokes to see what restriction it is if not notched. The Briley cases I get everytime I order something work for me. But still - you have put together a pretty fancy item there.

    Maverick 88 barrel off center? (pics)

    If this is a home defense gun (do I see a light on the left side?) - then the sights are a waste of time at those kinds of distances and uses. If you are planning on shooting clays then sights are useless*(see note). If this is your duck or upland gun then sights are of marginal use *(also see...

    Entry level Skeet gun

    A guy that shoots skeet (8 station) with me regularly shames me with his splinter SXS. If you shoot a lot - yes. Probably would not hurt that Smith - but I wouldn't want to risk it. A field grade gun just really was not intended for the use that a sporting or dedicated skeet/trap gun was...

    Chokes: Beretta Skeet USA vs. Skeet

    I guess the short answer woulda been - yes, the skeet and skeet usa chokes will be fine.

    Chokes: Beretta Skeet USA vs. Skeet

    The 'USA skeet' choke designation is seen in Europe to differentiate it from the normal European 'skeet' (spreader) choke mentioned above. The USA skeet should be a .005 restriction as is the regular skeet marked chokes found in the US. There will be no difference. Both of your chokes should...

    Chokes: Beretta Skeet USA vs. Skeet

    The European 'skeet' is actually a spreader choke in that it opens to .759 - the normal skeet choke is only about a .005 restriction to give approx .727 or .725 down from the typical 12Ga cylinder bore of .729. You want two skeet chokes so you can shoot doubles if shooting skeet.
