Why a shotgun?

Might have missed this, but...

Why a shotgun? Because I'm forced to take some obsolete single round loading tube fed antique to the two gun match here. :P

.. Another thing that has been questioned is current QC at freedom group companies which I believe includes Remington and Mossberg. ......[/url]

Mossberg is still family owned, I think. And rapidly moving out of Connecticut.

IIRC Chuck had mentioned a growing trend of groups using body armor and cover tactics in home invasions.

Anyone with knowledge on the matter of criminal trends find this to be a relevant concern? I hear this mentioned frequently in theoretical discussions of the shotgun vs the rifle, but I'm curious as to whether or not there are really body armor wearing home invaders out there.

Nonsense; you could bring a malfunctioning box mag fed abortion and shoot open.

We routinely find vests when we do warrants locally, but they are found in the closet and such.

I know of three cases here in the past 28 years where we had bad guys wearing armor, one was a home invasion by a suspect wearing a stolen IIIa LE vest and carrying a pistol grip shotgun.

In theory the Rio #1 buck load would be good, but I would have to pattern some.

GJM- Agreed on the 20ga Brenneke. A .60 caliber bullet is serious stuff.

I ordered some of the 20 ga #1 buck we discussed earlier. I'll pattern it and report the results.

Thanks for the feedback. Looking forward to your results.

The Rhino 12g AR10 just got delayed for... 9 months. :|

'Haught' rhymes with 'haute,' as in 'haute cuisine,' not 'ought,' as in 'one ought to take that class before complaining about shotgun recoil.'

Actually, it's pronounced the same as "hot".

I'm tempted to get some of that Rio buck as well. Maybe pattern some at the class in Nov...

I know, poetic license and I've slept since then

You're given me an idea now.
