I am going to Svalbard as a helicopter pilot in a month.
The contract is for 5 months/year for 3 years.
I am bringing a magnum revolver, but I also have to bring a long gun.
I have a wide variety of rifles, but none of them light enough, and none of them have iron sights.
I have a Benelli Supernova, but it has a 28'' barrel, and its to long.
I have been looking into getting a shorter barrel for my supernova, but no one has them in stock in Norway, and I dont have time to get one from the US or Italy.
I have now shifted into buying a 870, and load it with slugs.
Should I buy a 18,5'' barrel with smooth bore and a normal beet sight or should I buy a 20'' rifled barrel?
It looks like the ballistics on Sabot slugs are a lot better, but that means a longer barrel, and I cant use buckshot or normal birdshot if I ever use it for anything else than bear defence.
