000Buck, that illuminated reticle sounds pretty interesting. I've got a good friend with some land out in Santa Cardines. The darker colored hogs could be seen pretty good through one of those scopes I bet. I'm split 50/50 on the scope brands.

Wow! This post is over a year old. I went with the Franchi. POS! I returned it to the store and bought a Benelli.

OK. I'm going for the Benelli M2. I would have bought one this weekend if they had a 28" in stock. So here's my question: Would I be at any kind of a disadvantage with the 26" bbl? I know the ballistics are the same. This gun will be used for everything from dove to geese.

Thanks, guys, for the info. I will look for one that's less than 24". Can't wait to shoot it at the range. People say it packs a whallop! KG

What is the optimum length for a 12ga. rifled slug barrel? I'm looking to get a deer on some government land this year. Also, any manufacturers recommendations? Thanks. KG

Thanks guys. I may just stick with my .30-06 until I find either a .44 or .45-70. I was just thinking of something a little more compact than the big long gun. KG

Is the .357 mag out of a carbine enough for hogs? I'm in the market for a hunting/plinker carbine. Thanks. KG

Thanks guys. I really appreciate the input. Do you think .357 hard cast out of a carbine will do the job on hogs at close to medium ranges, say about 50 yds. or so? KG

I've been reading up on a lot of posts here about pistol-caliber carbines. I would like to get a lever gun in either .357 or .44. I know the .357 will be cheaper as a plinker, while the .44 will do better for the hunting role. So, my question is which caliber is going to be more accurate? I...

Yes, 10 shot capacity is a lot funner than just 4. I've got my eyes on a Marlin. Just out of curiosity, what is the average price of plinker ammo? I was hoping 50 rds. for around $12- $14. Maybe I'm mistaken. KG

I'm looking into getting a .44 carbine. Any info as to which one you'd go with is appreciated. I like the lever gun but I don't know about the straight grip stock. I like the semi-auto, but it seems kinda pricey. Any pros or cons on either of these? KG

Wow! Thanks for the info. Some of my friends and I were playing with the idea of a Garand as an all-purpose hunting rifle, but now that wouldn't be such a good idea. I'll pass this info on to them and tell them to just stick with the ball ammo and shoot the rifle for plinking. I guess the...

What are the heaviest loads that can be fired from a Garand? I didn't know if 150 gr. was the max or could it go all the way up to 220 gr.? KG

Yeah, the slugs would be the sabot type fired from a rifled barrel. You guys are giving me some much appreciated info. Just trying to weigh everything out cost and performance wise before I come to a decision. KG

I'm hoping some of you could tell me if or why I should go with the .45-70 over 12 ga. slugs. I'm thinking of picking up a Marlin Guide Gun, but I need to justify if it will give me any better performance over slugs from a rifled barrel. This will be my hog/sometimes deer gun, and also my...

Thanks for the input, guys. I will probably be going with the mid-length Rock River... unless someone can convince me otherwise. KG

I'm looking into getting an AR-15, but I can't decide on which length to get it in. If I go the 16" route, it will have the collapsable stock on it. This will be mainly just my fun gun. Shots will be at 300 yds. max., usually around 100 yds. I'd like to hear from some of you that have either...

I understand it it sensible, but what are the legal limitations? Private property? Is my yard (within city limits) my own private property? Is it something that I can only carry open inside my house? Maybe when I step outside the gun has to be concealed. I may have to double check with the...

I frequent a few local ranges and gun shops in the DFW area. One thing I've noticed is the employees of these establishments carry a sidearm openly visible. I'm just kinda curious about the legality of this. Can anyone who owns a business in Texas display that big iron on their hip? I've...

I've got a friend with a 12 ga. Remington 11-87, 26" bbl. He has the R3 recoil pad on it, but when he shoots the 3" shells, the trigger guard nails his middle finger. It even stays swollen for a couple of weeks. Anybody else come across this same problem? Any info would be greatly...
