I may, (fingers crossed), be able to finally get the rifle I want, a DSA FAL 18" barreled carbine in 308. What does this have to do with hunting? Easy, the guy who's doing the transfer, if I get it, wants me to go bear hunting with him. AZ bear, little guys, not Kodiaks. My only other rifles are either a CZ 527M in 7.62x39mm or a vz-58 in the same caliber. Needless to say, I seriously doubt the wisdom of deliberately trying to hunt bear with that caliber!
So, as I cannot afford any other rifles this year, but MIGHT be able to get a CZ 712 Utility 12 gauge auto shotgun, given ONLY these two options, nothing else, would the FAL with a 5 round mag, (and a few spares!), or the 712 18" barreled shotgun with some high quality slugs, (Brenneke?), be a better choice? Or should I simply beat myself over the head with a baseball bat and get it over with now. :banghead:
Obviously, I am not normally a hunter, but this guy is a good guy, maybe I could play rear guard in case we get jumped by the bear.
