this might sound strange but I really like my Mossberg 500 , it is a plane as it gets gun but I make it mine with a Morgan pad and a 20 inch vent rib barrel a bit of grip tape and an over size metal safety. it is light it carries easy and I shoot it fast took 2 birds the other day about as fast as you could imagine pump could run my son and friend though I was taking a second shot on the one bird and I had them both down both head and neck shot
lots of things are mechanically sound , fit makes things work for the person.
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

One of my favorites. This is my trap line pistol.

Steyer Mannlöcher in 6.5x55 Swede. Wish I still had it. It was for many years my goto for most things that needed to be put down. Nice!

Remington Model 700 classic in 8mm Rem Mag. I purchased it new in 1998. I immediately installed an HS Precision stock on it. It has accounted for many whitetails, wild boar, a few black bear, a Maine moose, Colorado Elk, Quebec Caribou, and Custer Buffalo. It has performed flawless and hits like Thor’s hammer. I own several versions of the Model 700 8mm Rem Mag rifles including my dads 1977 early production BDL and a couple Remington custom shop guns, but I keep going back to the classic.

1970's 700 BDL 30-06, early 1950's Remington 870 16 gauge pump that my dad purchased after he returned from Korean war and a Marlin Model 25 bolt action .22 that my dad gave to me when I turned 12. Have plenty of other guns of various calibers but those three are my favorites!

1985 Remington 1100, got engaged to my wife and bought this gun the next day, figured it would be one less argument entering marriage. I turned it into a slug gun some years later. Then Ohio went to straight walls and I bought a Ruger 450 bushmaster so this gun sees next to no woods now. I put gun chaps on it from day one so the wood is in great shape for what its been through. Been a solid gun for me.
