Shotgun

In a previous article, I discussed dealing with one common malady of these old shotguns, excess headspace. In this article, I’m going to cover another common issue: chamber length.

I have known hundreds of hunters over the years and I have to say turkey hunters are the most passionate, focused group of hunters I’ve ever encountered.

These updated semi-automatic PS Turkey Hunter shotguns come in two camo prints and in 12- and 20-gauge and .410 bore models.

One of the updated models is the Upland Ultralight All-Terrain, which I’ve been using in 20 gauge. It’s lightweight, it’s beautifully constructed, and it comes up on-target every time game flushes. Read on for a close look at all the features as well as a few things that could be better.

The MP-155 Ultima by the Kalashnikov Concern is a “smart” shotgun, rigged with electronics to help shooters track and record their performance.

Mossberg, a name almost synonymous with affordable firearms, is expanding their shotgun offerings with the new International Reserve line of break-actions for hunting and clay sports.

The versatile shotgun eliminates the need to add U.S. manufactured components to gain the extra capacity demanded by serious snow goose hunters.

At some point, any waterfowl hunter is attracted to the guns that have some type of wet fowl-weather durability. Browning’s Wicked Wing meets that tough demand with their Cerakote Burnt Bronze finish, synthetic stock and forearm, and a fully chromed bore.

Under current conditions, buying any gun can be a challenge, and ammunition availability is even worse. One bright spot in the field is the venerable 12 gauge shotgun. Ammunition is in stock and selling for around normal retail, even if it is not present in unlimited quantities.
