Knowledge is power!
Kevin, there are some possible bright spots to what would appear to be a negative. Perhaps you are an idiot savant and the savant just hasn't blossomed yet. That's what I tell folks about me. And it could certainly have been worse. You could have discovered that you are an ignoramus, a muttonhead, a cretin or a twit. I don't think there are any bright spots to being any of those.
I've been away for a couple of weeks and apparently have missed some action here. Always thought Klick was an ok guy and usually enjoyed his posts like the one I saw this morning on my return(Really). I understand that control is something that needs to be kept on a forum like this but I also will miss Klick.
Just a note for Klkak. I learned years ago at an early age just how dumb I was and probably still am via a wonderful guy that was my DI at Fort Benning back in the day. MAN. That guy had alot of synonyms for dumb. :>)

Apparently you have never been married. If you had you would have already been informed of this information. If was one of the early enlightenments of my married life.
If I ever go off the deep end and start spouting wild crap send Rick down to KY to slap me around a bit before you ban me, I have little other contact with the outside world.
I ain't walkin' that far for nobody. Not even me.
I've got my popcorn and soda. Someone call her over to the screen so she can read it. This is gonna be soooooo bad.

that's what memories are made of, awesome
10 ft. stand in heavy cover. I have had deer almost in my lap here and could easily take one in this situation with the same .410 pictured above.

Great pics Cowboy! I have the same H&R and it was perfect for the boys when they were little. Oh, I cant help feeling so very bad for that cute little girl's first boyfriend though!:jango:
My daughter always claimed that her boyfriends were not worried about the guns I owned.
They were worried about the guns SHE owned.
We were on the big farm then and many of her "first dates" involved a walk around the farm busting tin cans with a .22.
I'm a dedicated single shot shooter,my gun of choice being a H&R single shot 12 ga.I use it by choice for everything I hunt,from Deer to rabbits,and everything in between.Single shot like your Rossi are very dependable,and will last a lifetime.Your combo gun will make you a nice hunting /survival fire arm.Can you use the 410 to deer hunt with?Here in Ky. we can't use anthing smaller than a 20 guage for deer.Of course in a survival sitiation,laws go out the window,and it would't matter.How about some pics of the new weapon,here's my old standby...Attachment 6234Attachment 6235Attachment 6236
I use the same shell pcket on the stock of mine...loading is fast! I miss the old 36" barrel 12 ga. Savage Single...We called him "Jed" and he could reach out and touch some ducks! The action...receiver,wore out as me and my buddy traded it back and forth! Singles are nice to have around!
I love the old shotshell holder,and if i'm doing some serious hunting where reloading quickly is needed,I'll palm an extra round in my left hand whild i'm cupping the fore grip,so when i fire i already have the round ready to load when i break it open.
I carry my 410 in a chest rig. It can be worn over or under coat which is a nice feature in foul weather.

Extra ammo is carried under a velcro flap. This is a universal rig that fits all my handguns well and carries weight comfortably and out of the way of pack. Easy to get in and out of. I highly recomend it. Heres thier website if interested. Made in Alaska for Alaskan conditions.

I have a couple of them. It's a TC Encore and can be configured as a rifle also. Built to a quality standard that allows all parts to be exchanged between different firearms.
Well, I glad we got all that settled.
Funny how those single shots seem to cause so much trouble...............
Congrats, Nell.
So I went and picked up the gun today,and I noticed while filling out the paper work,that the gun he brought up was NOT the gun that I had previously picked out.
THe one I had picked out had a synthetic stock,this one is WOOD! also,the one I picked out was a .410,with a .22 interchangeable barrel this one is a 20 gauge with the .22 barrel,I mentioned this at the shop,but was told I didn't know what I was talking about.
So I get home and the amish neighbor comes over as I am unloading the gun from the truck,and I pull THE barrel out and hand it to him,he quickly looks at the lump,and said I thought it ws supposed to be a .410,I just walked away....I KNOW I am gonna hear about it later.
Nell, you will find the 20g to be a better round for hunting. It has a much better selection of slug for hunting big game and a bigger shot pattern for hunting birds.
Sounds like it was meant to be.
Nell, if you desire, you can get a gage reducer to shoot .410 as well as other calibers from the 20 gage. Look at this web site and see how many calibers you can shoot from that 20 gage. www.mcace.com
I usually use the "Inserts," rather than the adaptors, but I do have many of both and use depending on the situation or application. The .410 actually patterns well from a 20 gage. The rifle calibers also shoot well and accurate from the 20 gage.
The interchangable barrels are a big plus. I recommend you get the 20-ga. model rather than the .410. 20 ga ammo is available in much greater variety and is cheaper than .410 to boot. The 20-ga is also a much more reliable choice to use on all kinds of game from upland birds to turkey and waterfowl and for small and large game from squirrels and rabbits up to deer and elk and bear.
CS: they are available for the .410 (check out the site), just in fewer calibers, the 20 gage allows for a greater range of actual rifle calibers in the inserts and conversions.
You forgot the link.
