When I started using Flite Control (Prairie Storm) on pheasants, I went from a Modified choke early and Full late to an IC early and Modified late. 30-40 yard shots with IC are pretty consistent (as I found out when I forgot to change chokes a couple years ago). Given, that’s out of a 28”...

Enjoy!

Here’s a fun thing—at least in MN: You point a firearm at someone, it’s considered using lethal force. Doesn’t matter if it’s loaded or not (or loaded with those stupid “less lethal” rounds like rubber buckshot). Which, imho, is how it should be.

Yeah, but when you realize that .45GAP was Glock betting on the 94AWB being renewed, it’s just not that cool anymore.

Google it. They are out there. You’ll still have an 18” barrel, compared to the 14” on the Mossberg, though.

Hmm. I know how Federal’s Flite Control wads do with buckshot out of an 18” cylinder bore—VERY tight patterns out to 25 yards, and fairly respectable at 50 (7 out of 9 pellets of 00, on average, is VERY respectable performance—most others you’re lucky to get 3 or 4 pellets). I wonder how the...

Oof. That’s a bit steep…then again, I think I’d trust it a lot more than the budget models running around… If they make it in .410, I’m in.

This isn’t brand thing. This is easily verifiable information. I won’t even get into the QC issues Colt had post 2010 or so; it seems that CZ’s purchase of them is improving things, but…I was at my dealer when 3 Colts, all different models, came out of the box with loose barrel nuts (obviously...

No need to wait. In fact, after a thorough detail strip & cleaning (not just a simple field strip/bore pinch & lube), I don’t like to carry a gun until I’ve put a magazine through it to confirm function.

I went down a rabbit hole… F4 makes one that comes in under 6#. https://www.f4defense.com/product/f4-nighthawk/

You can get a large-chassis pretty light…but it COSTS. Carbon fiber barrel, lightweight upper & lower (don’t think they make magnesium receivers for large chassis…I’ve got one for a small chassis I got as a lark( still in the package. Super lightweight). May still build a dedicated .22 out of...

There you go.

I would bet me & some buddies could burn through that in a week, easy. And we would have a LOT of fun doing it…

Not any more. 15+ years ago? A LE6920 was as good as you could get…I still have one of mine from that period. Now? There’s a lot of companies making the same quality rifle as Colt, for less. You can get a much higher quality rifle than a Colt for the same money that the Pony will run you...

I didn’t expect them!
