I am looking to add the last gun to my arsenal....a shot gun.
Here's the why. I have a six shooter and a lever action rifle so I thought I'd add a western styled shotgun to complete the mix. I occasionally shoot at the range and once or twice a year hunt.
Can I make these following assumptions?
1. SXS have more of kick than all but single barrels.
2. 20 gauge shells would be cheaper and have less felt recoil than a 12.
3. Full and modified would be the best choke choices for all purpose application.
4. The BEST all around gauge would be 12.
Thanks for any and all your opinions. As I posted here earlier I was thinking of a CZ hammered gun. It is all opened to debate. In the gun world, shotguns are my blindspot.
