Been there twice asking but, no response. I would assume it is cancelled.

And...what kind of 12 gauge did Santa bring? Mossberg? Remington? Tactical? The AA-12? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4ebtj1jR7c

Very nice of Santa,
I read a couple of blogs and reviews to catch up on this Toy so I could at least know some of it's details. Got me thinking about my standard sights but for me adding the ghost rings is not a must do thing but agree a worthy upgrade.

Because a shotgun used for home defense has a rifle like pattern I am second guessing the use of 3 inch mag rounds. I have checked the pattern of my current loads at 5 and 10 yards and would like to open them up a little. A shot pattern at 15 feet is about 6 maybe 8 inches and I would be thrilled to obtain double that, like 16 to 20 inched works for me. I have deer slugs and pistols that make small entrance holes. What can you do to get a 15 inch pattern at say 5 to 8 yards without shortening the barrel to illegal lengths? We can discuss more Tuesday night at the Diner too.

A Blunderbuss should work. I'll bring the new toy with me Tuesday.

I think this is the answer http://www.polywad.com/spredr.html but the blunderbuss is also a good idea. While you are there take a look at the Polywad's Quik-Shok Sabot Slugs they sell. They toss a 1 1/8 ounce slug down range and it is designed to frag onto 3 pieces. That is more lead weight than is on any one of my tires! I'll look forward to checking out your new Toy Tuesday evening.

Hey guys,
I was given a Savage 12 gauge pump shot gun, 69RXL series E. It takes 2 3/4 and 3 inch shells. It has a short barrel, and it's used by some police dept's. Would this shot gun be affective at all for skeet or trap shooting ?

Jeff,

I will not be bringing it tonight. Seems this shotgun does not like to be racked slow. I have a double jam to take care of first. Live and learn. It's been a long time since I owned one.

Mike
Is it new? May just need to be shot or at least rack the slide alot to wear off the rough edges.

mikiec · #12 (**permalink**) 12-28-2010, 12:23 PM

Dave,

Brand new. I had it loaded and decided to unload and it jammed. Looking on the web I found this can be a problem, with this shotgun, if one is not firm when racking the slide. I need to dissemble to clear the double jam.

Scotty, normally skeet or trap shooting needs a long barrel (24+inches). Short barrels are for home defense, police or just destroying stuff.

What Bob said.
Guess you could try but you better be REAL quick on the trigger.

Scotchman · #15 (**permalink**) 12-29-2010, 09:08 AM

Thanks Bob,that figures. I'll need to find a more suitable shotgun. And Dave, Sandi says I'm quick, just not on the trigger.

dave from mesa · #16 (**permalink**) 12-29-2010, 10:28 AM

More info than I need, Scott.
