Guys, his location says he lives in Detroit.
That actually might not be a BAD home defense gun, all things considered...
A little overkill for zombies though. And a little heavy to pack around.
HOWEVER, we need to remember that here on the High Road, we will not knock someone else's purchase or choice of firearm, when they are proud of it, and happy with it, for no other good reason than to make ourselves feel superior.
Heck I have bought quite a few guns over the years with absolutely zero practical purpose. Want to rag on me about it? What good would that do? YOU aren't the ones that bought it. There's a REASON we have so many types and varieties of firearms and calibers.
358 Winchester is actually a pretty good cartridge for any game you'll find in North America; those big fat slugs let a lot of air in and a lot of blood out. Plus, you can take shots through the shoulder without worry. That round is going to carry a lot of power.. clean through whatever you shoot, and beyond.
Not a good home defense gun .. if you value your eardrums or eyesight.
To add a bit of constructive advice, look in to raising your comb height if you are going to run a scope that high up. I know you had a clearance issue on the objective to worry about - but you need to get a good cheek weld on it and with that comb height you are running, you aren't going to. There's probably aftermarket bolt-on's or slip-on's you can look at, if you want to keep the existing stock.
Anyway, that'll help get a good positive cheek weld in the right spot, AND center your eyeball more reliably in the scope, helping you with parallax issues if your scope doesn't have a good adjustment for that built in.
