Took it out an tested it 3 weeks ago. Fed the shells in one at a time. Worked fine. Took it out turkey hunting last week and shot a jake with it. Went to load another shell from the mag and it does not line up with the chamber. Seems to be to high. Any in put would be great. I have another...
The being sold by Montgomery wards I knew as I bought one just like it in 1970 when I turned 18. $50 plus tax. Sold it when WI required steel shot. Had a full fixed choke. This one has the Mossberg type safety selector used by Mossberg. Mainly I want info on bolt diassembly.
I bought a Westernfield 20 gauge bolt action shotgun today. In nice shape just needed cleaning. Where can I find info on age and bolt disassembly. I looked on youtube for bolt info.
The reach to the fore end reach was my problem with shotguns. I went with the youth model which has a shorter reach. The stock has the extension that brings it out to 13" lop. fits perfect.
Went to a local gunshow yesterday. Found a 24" smoothbore Slugster barrel. Hope to get out and test it this week. We have a 4 day antlerless next weekend. Would be nice for some of the wooded area we hunt.
Our fall in WI is interrupted by the 9 day deer gun season. During the muzzle loader and antlerless hunts you need orange. May get some turkey hunting in late in Dec.
No luck with the turkeys. Took it out to the range before deer season with some Federal Truball slugs. Thought maybe I would use it deer hunting. I suck with open sights. Decided that the Mossberg Patriot in 7mm-08 would be my choice. Turkey opens up after deer season. It should be good for...
2017 season complete. Set myself up with 3 different brands of ammo. Federal Fusion, Winchester and Hornady Whitetail. At 75 yds the Hornady was shooting a 2" group 1" high. Decided to leave well enough alone. Dropped a 7 point at 100yds last Sun. Dead on double lung. Spent the rest of the week...
I was at Dicks Sporting Goods and found a Maverick 20 gauge youth model for $190.00. Had the short reach for the fore end and 22" barrel. Plan on it being a turkey gun. Took it out this afternoon with some turkey loads. Slightly more recoil than my wood Mossberg 20. Put a modified tube in it and...
Max for steel is #2 shot. I am putting the mod. choke in my pocket along with 5 steel loads. If I cross over I will have to leave my leads loads behind. I read up on it and it seems a mod choke shoots like a full with steel shot.
