After browsing around some gun shops, I started thinking about getting my first long gun. But I don't know what to get? A rifle or a shotgun?
A shotgun would be nice, especially the ones I've seen at Midwest Ordnance. They have pistol grips, M4 butt stocks, heat shields, etc. All mossbergs and affordable! They're going for $250-400. The problem is that shotshells seem to be expensive in comparison to pistol and rifle cartridges. If I find a range, I'm going to spend alot of time there so I need cheap ammo!
A rifle would be nice because ammo would be alot cheaper, 223, 7.62, 308, etc. Century Arms rifles are affordable for me. WASR 7.62 are going for $300-$400, FAL is going for around $500 at Dunhams, same with CETME rifles. A rifle might not have powerful recoil compared to a shotgun? So it's easier to shoot?
What do you guys think?
