Howdy folks-
I've been hunting for a good general purpose camp gun. Any decent examples have been strangely elusive at all my local shops, so I can't handle enough of them to decide what I want. I've been considering a 12 ga, but I don't want to end up with something that kicks my teeth out every time I squeeze the trigger. The .410 is the opposite problem I worry, where it might get me some small game, but won't be nearly enough to comfortably deal with modest social occasions.
What about a single shot .20? Anyone have any experience with teh H&R 20 ga Snake Tamer? Looks to be pretty compact and rugged, another H&R rifle I have has pretty good fit and finish (or enough for this type of task, anyway).
But my biggest question is does this particular caliber and configuration kick like a mule? It's not that I'll be putting 200 rnds a week through it, but I'd like something I can shoot comfortably and not be left beaten and frustrated.
Thoughts, comments, snide remarks?
