20 gauge Questions...

[Laharll]

So i'm thinking about getting a decent 20 gauge side by side, and a 20 gauge bolt action. And ideas about what would be best for a lower price point but with good reliability?

For the bolt action $50.

i understand wanting a 20ga side by side, but what can a 20ga bolt do that an 870 with the combo barrels cant?

Simply because i think my wife would have fun with one. Isn't that enough of a reason to get what i want?

For the bolt action, look for a nice older one that's off-branded like Glenfield, Western Field, Western Auto, J.C. Penney, or Sears. These shotguns are a niche market. In like-new condition (a unicorn), they are worth $250 at most from a reputable gun shop. Depending on condition, the price spirals quickly towards zero, especially if they've been shot a lot.

Yep. Get her interested in shooting and there goes half YOUR shooting budget. However, you get to go shooting with your wife without special permission, etc. Get her whatever gun she wants, even if it is pink or purple.

Holy crap, please don't ever repeat that statement again. If she finds out she could get a purple gun I'm screwed. Is there a delete button? Lol

lol - that is what my wife wants. My daughter wants a pink pellet gun, pink 22, and pink bow. Whatever it takes to get them shooting, I'm all for it. My wife has even said she will go hunting if the kids get involved in it.

Everybody needs a nice purple or pink 10/22.

 

[Laharll]

Hmmm... I joke but I just recently bought her a 10/22 and she would love that purple stock. I'm gonna go look that up. And thanks for the info earlier.

I'll make a day out of it and bring over my scope rails for you to install as well.

Nothing wrong with a purple gun. So long as no one I'm shooting with has it.

As far as the shotgun let her run your 12ga I will give some reduced recoil buck shot for her to try out .
