This is just a question for pump gun shooters. Shooting trap, I see most people, after they make the shot, cycle the action to the rear as they lower their gun ejecting the empty shell. Then, when it is their turn to shoot again, they drop a new shell in the chamber, close the action and shoot...

I just bought a brand new Benelli M2 American. I have some extra M1S90 chokes. Will they work in an M2 barrel?

Has anyone tried using Easy hit to help fix eye dominance problems shooting with both eyes open? How did you like it?

I am curious if any of you shoot multiple type of shotgun actions for different purposes? I have 18" and 28" 870s. The short barrels are for home defense. I have hunted and shot clays with the 28" barreled 870s. But, for skeet and hunting, I was thinking of going to a semiauto. I just shoot...

I want to learn to shoot shotgun with both eyes open. In the past, I keep both eyes open until I am ready to pull the trigger, then I close one eye. I have tested myself and I am right handed/right eye dominant. I can easily shoot both eyes open with my handgun and my scoped rifle. No...

I just bought an 870. I have shot Benellis for the last 20 years. I have taken my 870 out for skeet, sporting clays, and duck hunting. I have found that I am not near as good at hitting pairs in the gun games or multiple birds hunting. The margin in speed between the two guns is substantial...

I have a new 28" 870. I hunt and shoot clay games with it. One problem. I have found that I am slower on the mount than I would like with this gun. I am 5' 9". Because my weak hand is so far extended on the forend to operate the pump, I have to extend my arms to the maximum degree first to...

My first shotgun was an 870 Express 20+ years ago. I sold it and bought a Benelli M1S90. Two weeks ago, in the duck blind, my barrel sheared off at the barrel ring in the middle of the hunt. To Benelli's credit, they have agreed to repair it under warranty. Since I needed a gun fast for...

I have been debating the whole pump vs. semi auto thing for a couple weeks now. I have 870s, FN SLPs, and Benelli M1S90s. I have trained with the 870 pump in a couple shooting schools. I have personally short shucked the pump under stress. I have seen numerous students AND teachers short...

I know everyone likes the Remington 870 in 12 gauge. Is the 20 gauge version just as good? I am thinking of one for upland game (dove, quail, ect..)

I have two FN SLP Mark 1 shotguns. The extra one is a back up.

I live in California. I will be visiting a college with my son in Arizona. We would like to bring our shotguns for a quail hunt during the trip. Can I legally have our unloaded shotguns in the trunk of my car on school grounds? With the new laws, can a California resident CCW in Arizona...

Let say you took two equally well trained people: One with a Remington 870 HD One with a Benelli M2 or FN SLP Mark 1 You wake them up at 2:00am and add the dynamic deadly stress of a home invasion. Which is more likely to occur? The semi auto malfunctioning or the pump guy short shucking his...

I am trying to determine which size flip up covers to order for my Leupold VX-3 3.5-10x40. Objective = ? Eyepiece = ? Anyone know?

For home defense, do you like the standard 870 with a 5 round capacity? Or, do you like the extended magazine version that holds 7 rounds? I like the handling of the standard 5 round capacity gun. But, an extra two rounds never hurts. What is your preference?

I started twenty years ago shooting an 870 pump for hunting and home defense. Then, I decided I just had to have a semiauto Benelli M1S90 for hunting. Within the last couple years, I picked up an FNSLP Mark I for home defense. Lately, I have been feeling the tug to get back to a more...

I was duck hunting today. Towards the end of the hunt, the part of the barrel ring that slides over the magazine tube sheared completely off the barrel. I was shooting 3" #2 steel shells. The magazine cap was tight as usual. The thing just sheared right off. The gun is about 15 years old...

I just picked up my new Winchester 70 SS Extreme in 30-06. It is a 5+1 capacity gun. I noticed what could be a problem. The magazine accepts 6 rounds. If you put 6 rounds in the gun, it won't feed the first round. I could see this being a problem if you were to reload the gun under...

I will be sighting in my new Winchester 70 in 30-06. I have a Leupold 3.5-10x40 scope on it. If I sight it in at 100 yards: 1. What size should the bullseye on the target be? 2. Should I be on 10x? 3 Are there targets designed for this I can buy or download? P.S. This is a...

This might be a dumb question. I just bought a Winchester 70 Sporter (walnut and blue steel) in 30-06. Is it best to go with a gloss scope or a matte scope? I know the matte will reflect a little less than the gloss. But, on a blued gun, will it really matter? Any preferences?
