.270 WIN
Well, I'm Paul aka raven01750. I live in San Diego and have recently gotton the gun bug. Again. I used to live in the woods as a kid. Got my first Daisy BB gun at 6, shot my first single shot 22 at about 9. Then went on from there. grew up, joined the Navy, saw the world and got married. The ex didn't care for guns. The one time I took her out shooting, later on she admitted that she thought I was going to shoot her. LOL. I'm still not sure why I stayed with her for 22 years!
Anyway, kids are growing up now. One 11 and one 9. The 11 year old last year wanted a Daisy Red Rider BB Gun for Christmas. (How many of us started the same way.) Then I bought the pellet gun with a scope. Almost 22 velocities but accuracy was not it's strong point. And then it dawned on me. Why not get back to what I used to love.
I bought a gun safe for my home and my guns came home from the gun safe at the ex's. I bought a Walther P22 with the 5" barrel and then started shopping for that 12. Fell in love with the Benelli but couldn't see spending $1800.00 here in SoCal. Found the 930 SPX with the Pistol Grip and was pretty much hooked. Again.
I read the reviews, M24shooter sold me. Plus the NRA giving it shotgun of the year didn't hurt either. I planned on having multiple barrels so I could use it for any occasion. I ordered my 930 in April and finally got it in late June. I wish it was a happy delivery but it wasn't. I had problems. All well documented of course. But I'm keeping the faith. It's going back to the factory for the second time even though it has never been fired. I have the second Slug Barrel for it and four different brands of sabot rounds waiting for the day I can go and find her sweet spot.
I plan on mounting a Nikon Model 8445 Slughunter Scope on that slug barrel as soon as I have that extra $208.99 laying around. LOL.
I plan on using it for hunting primarily, Deer and Hog here in San Diego County, quickly changing over to the shorter 18.5" barrel if society decides to implode. Hoping it doesn't. Life is coming full circle now. A lot older and the terrain here is brutal. But getting out again is glorious. Have a great day everyone. And nice to meet you all.
