A friend of mine has a Mossberg 16G Bolt action.(inherited it)

It has an adjustable choke, screw thread arrangement.

It has sights like a rifle.

I remember seeing a lot of Turkey sights (trueglo) in Tx, I was there in turkey season.

i'd love to try a few slugs on paper, may ask the super nintendo DS Lite for a permit

Slugs in a .410 or 16g would be great on fallow.

And safer to fire in areas where backstops are weak.

Think you'll find shotgun & slugs would not be legal here for shooting deer.........open to correction

That I know, but that is where laws can be counter productive.

The midlands is full of very flat land.
A slug drops like a stone due to its weight.

It is legal to fire a high powered rifle with several miles range on flat land, yet illegal to fire a slug which has the trajectory of a rock and is a safe3r option on flat land as the bullet will enter the ground.

Hey, I do not make the rules, i just have to obey.

It wasn't me!

Slugs are terrible for ricocheting. If your ground is flat, build a high seat to make the shots safe.

I have a field with no high trees, and only a small backstop on th wrong side of prevailing wind.
With loads of deer in it all year round.And Farmers asking my why don't I shoot them.

I can take head shots. But for safety reasons I do not, as If there was a miss the round would be very high in the sky.

90% of my hunting is on hills, just this 150 acres or so is very flat.

Thats a good one...Seeing that they arent jacketed,and unless you are firing onto rocky ground.They are difficult to bounce.

Bump, back for sale due to a refusal.

What choke is it? (Might be another silly question that, may know a fella who may be interested in it :rolleyes: ). How many shells will it take, presume three? What county is it in?

Just spoke to him, he's looking for a double barrel.
