Yet another sound write up. I do have one argument, very minor, however.
Actually, the rifle can do less. While unmatched for accuracy and range, a rifle does shotgun things like small game and wingshooting very badly. A shotgun does rifle things better.
All quite true, no real dissension here, just that I really like .22s on squirrels.
Yeah, the shotgun is better if you need the meat, I'll admit, and if you jump a rabbit, well, I'm fulla beans. ROFL
The shotgun is the very best choice for MEAT gathering, I suppose, unless as you point out, the range is excessive. I really don't know how even a rifle nut could argue with your logic here, but post it on the rifle forum and I bet you'll find all sorts of dissension, ROFL. I swear, one guy wanting a select fire M4 for home defense?
sheesh!
BTW, Dave, those rifled choke tubes work? I've heard yay and nay on that one. Never tried one to find out for myself. Will it, maybe, just improve foster slug accuracy or will it actually work with sabots? I guess that's another thread, though.
