I ended up meeting up with a fellow HTer who was selling his 20ga Beretta Silver Pigeon. Versus shouldering different models at a store, we shot a couple rounds of sporting clays so I could try the shotgun first hand. It fit like a glove, and has been a true joy to carry and shoot. In 4 days...
I hope you draw UT someday as well! I wish every hunter could experience a bison hunt like this- I think it would go a long way in garnering more support for them as a species in how we tolerate them.
The couple times I've thought I found it, they were on scam sites that wanted Applepay or Paypal and wouldn't accept credit cards. The prices are absurd- but I expect them to only climb. If I could get one jug, I feel like I'd be set for all my shooting needs for a long time, as 8lb gets me just...
I agree. As do elections, companies transferring ownership, and the rise and fall in popularity of cartridges. Stocking up isn't a bad call- components won't be any cheaper next year. Wish I would have bought a couple 8lb'ers of a select few a decade ago.
It doesn't, I was simply being sarcastic that just because one of us mention something on HT, that the internet will somehow make that resource disappear.
The OP asked for any loading info for his new rifle. I provided my input that H1000 would be my first choice, but that it is hard to find...
Welcome to the Internet? You asked for advice on the internet and freaked out when someone shared their opinion. Bit of an over-reaction, no?
Sounds like you have a great friend to do this for you. I hope you find what you're after, and maybe an anti-anxiety in the process.
H1000 is basically...
Thanks! You had mentioned German, Belgian & Austrian manufacturers- any that stand out for keeping an eye on? This venture has been as much about learning new manufacturers as it has about shouldering and swinging the more common ones I can pull off the local gun store shelf.

Anyone shoot an O/U with a similar grip as this? Almost sxs / Winchester 94 esc.
Lots of good recommendations- I appreciate them all. I've looked hard at the Franchi's- specifically the LX and the side plate.
The Franchi SL, while very light, has me wondering if an Aluminum receiver is worth the weight savings? Steel seems like a better long term option, or am I being...
I won a Daniel Defense Upper of my choosing recently, which is exciting in and of itself. However, I've been wanting to treat myself on what I would consider a "higher end" truck gun, or a "lower end" pass-me-down 20ga O/U for grouse, pheasant, etc.
In a perfect world, I'd go buy the O/U and...
We're all Non-residents in 49 states. Advocating for the future generations' opportunity to experience at least a portion of we all have without having to be the highest bidder should be an issue every hunter can get behind, no different than preserving the public lands we all enjoy.
Negative. There's landowner tags, but they're unit wide. Essentially just a drawing for qualified landowners in a given LE unit that can't be transferred to non-family.
