Advice based on zero experience, zero knowledge, that's not advice. Just a mean little man with anger issues...Go away, you said your piece.

Back to the shotgun. Single shot, break action not too much can go wrong. I have an old .410 single shot that I tend to use around the home and it has been flawless.

You might want to check that out. I know of at least 5 of my friends that had $15,000 Krieghoff break action guns blow. These are O/U but you might get the idea.

5 friends with $15,000.00 shotguns is amazing. I helped the richest guy in our county put skirting on his brand new double wide trailer. Lucky fellow he is. grin

First off. I've got a Hatfield single barrel in 20 gauge, it's served me well for 4 years so far.
Second lay off Boco, he meant well in his warning.
Third look into a Hatfield Boco you may be pleasantly surprised... they're good made guns for the price.

Well Bobo's advice was based on nothing, I asked politely. I would have considered it for sure, had he owned one, knew someone that owned one, or could tell me of one that blew up in someone's face. He could not. and ranted. So he had baseless non advice. All the good advice he gives on topics he is knowledgeable in he should stick to, and is welcome.

You always get exactly what you pay for Boco's opinion, all 29k posts of it. He's a great trapper and fur handler, but prefers to be an internet commentator on everything else instead.

It's ok though, all it takes to get rid of Boco is ask him a direct question about his hypocritical claims of virtue. He disappears faster than a spike buck in Savell's yard.

My uncles has had i dont know how many single shots and he said that he has had probably 50 of them in his life and never had a problem with them killing anything and he still has one from the 1900s and the stock fell off it was so old he keeps it behind his door for security even though he has an ar15 and a 9 mm but he said he would rather use his shotgun for fast shooting when thiefs run

For $99 you could easily make some barrel length revisions to that shotgun without feeling guilty

I had seen a few videos that had done just that. This one patterns all the shot shells really well at normal hunting ranges, including buckshot. I may buy a second for that. Seen one cut down to 20 inches with some sights affixed, the guy was all but stacking slugs at 50 yards. Like I said, try finding or buying a older brand name single shot...I see this design in the Midland brand and under other names but none are only $99.00.

The choke is not marked on the barrel, just says 3 inch chamber. it shoots and looks like modified. I will give it the dime test today, then measure bore.

Sounds like a cheap versatile option. Easy to transport back and forth, personally I wouldn't leave one at a camp regardless of how disposable for fear of it getting in the wrong hands. Maybe I'm just a worrier.

I’m was surprised to hear you picked it up at Walmart. The one by me stopped selling guns quite awhile ago and I just assumed that would have been all Walmart’s but guess not.
Years ago I got each of my boys a New England single shot 12 gauge from Walmart . Think they were around 75 bucks each and that’s prolly been around 25 years ago. They put a lot of shells through those guns lol.
