    Buckshot/Slug Choke

    I shot deer with buckshot ahead of hounds for 40 years...........Those open chokes don't cut it period!!!.......We all used full and extra full(turkey choke) for optimum patterns.

    Front sight taper?

    Most quality guns have tapered dovetails..............Instruction are given on which way to tap(or use a pusher) out & back in........I think S&W is right to left looking from the rear of the slide.

    Rifle optics: a blue collar spending perspective for cost / benefit
