I'm a new shotgun owner. My gun has an 18.5" barrel.
I'd like to get a longer barrel so I can use it for other shooting.
As a newbie, I thought I'd gain some knowledge here.
I assume barrels are manufacturer and mostly model specific. Are there also different types of 28" barrels?
Is there...
I went with the Mossburg Maverick 88.
Actually just picked it up today. It's raining so I haven't shot it yet.
Talking to the gunsmith I had it shipped to, I'm wishing I would have gone with the Remmington. It may not matter much, but he said that the 2 guns are not that different except...
I just seen it on Facebook. I gotta say, I had to research it to make sure it was fake. Very well done.
I think what helps is that it is not that far fetched. I would not be totally shocked if this really happened.
After not seeing it reported anywhere else, I figured it was fake.
Thanks again for the insight. I'll look into an older model. My concern was safety. Since I'm inexperienced with a shotgun, I'm afraid I may not know what to look for initially. However, I'm one who does research on what I own. I can see myself owning 3-4 in the coming years.
That is awesome.
I'm just leaning towards buying new for my first one. Then I can expand and go with a classic like that.
Is that the wrong line of thinking?
Since I will be an amateur to the shotgun game, I thought it would be best.
Anyone have any experience with a Catamount??
NEW...
That's one I haven't heard of before.
After a quick google search, reviews seem to be mixed. While most people say it is a good gun, many say go with the Mossberg 500 or Remington 870.
I have a .22 semi auto rifle and a .38 revolver.
I am now in the market for a shotgun.
I'm leaning towards a pump action 12 gauge.
Price range is from $200 to $350. The only use will be for home defense and the occasional groundhog/raccoon.
Mostly just to have it.
I've been looking on...
