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!Quote:

I can relate to that! That is the plan when we shoot the wood duck flyby!Quote:

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.

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.
I am gonna keep it,but I reckon I need to exchange all the ammo I bought up for the .410,or buy the barrel for this one,I understand it will take 4 different gauge barrels on this one stock.Quote:

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.
Good point and I don't think the inserts are made for the .410.Quote:

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.
The link is a few posts up Rick, Looks like a good one too. Now if I can determine if they will work in my HR.Quote:
