How much was the choke? I would also rather shoot a riffled choke and a one of the sabots designed for it then a smoth bore and a challenger slug. With a bit of practice you should be consistent at 50-75 yards...I know guys say all the time that they can do that will challengers but I think its pure...

I do quite a bit of still hunting/stalking up here in Ontario but find it VERY hard due to all the leaves on the ground. Most of the places I hunt are heavly treed with Maples, Ash and Hickory making for a very noisy walk on dry leaves. My biggest tip is for anyone doing still hunting in an area lik...

I never even thought of looking for the slug untill...

Ive heard some of the true slug guns can reach that far. Mine has a removable barrel so it'll never accurately get past 150 yards. this doesn't really make to much of a difference because just like any riffle or shot gun...the chamber is actually the barrel so its always true even when taking appar...

What exactly did he die of? I ended his life, Long Trang, because his life was about ended--he was suffering terribly. We have no local vet. It's not something I wanted to do.

Price was good. $400...I think it was a good price anyway. Whats the going price for a shoulder mount? R...
