I found this week’s reading in the course text on custom fitting shotguns to be quite interesting because I’ve almost always had a shotgun in my home, but I’ve never done any work to customize the scatter guns I’ve owned… I think That’ll be changing pretty soon. Prior to getting into shotguns in this course I never had an idea as to how some custom work could enhance the performance of a shotgun. I knew there was a ton of work that could be done, but because I was never really into wing shooting or whatnot I never saw how it might help me out. While personally I think it’s insane to spend upwards of 10,000.00 on a shotgun, I’m the type that sticks to more tactical applications for my shotguns (I just tossed a Magpul SGA stock on my 870 and
Mr. Deaner said that “If your rifle doesn’t have a good base it doesn’t matter if your barreled action is perfect or not, it still won’t shoot to its potential. By the same token, if your barrel is a stinker all the glass bedding in the world won’t do much good.” I agree 100% Once I know my barrel is good to go, the first thing I replace with an aftermarket mart is the stock. I currently run Boyd’s stocks on two of my bolt guns and I love the way they fit my hand. I never even though of shooting accurately beyond 100 yards with a .22lr, but after doing a little work on my Savage FVSR in a Boyds stock I’m shooting sub MOA groups at 100 yards… I was very impressed with what I’m able to do with this gun after utilizing some of what I’ve read in our coursework.
One of the worst weapons I have certification on is the shotgun. The shotgun is a very powerful and intimidating weapon, but you must have a proper fit and stance. A shotgun and its stock are designed based on the dimensions of an average shooter. It has an average length of pull that is measured from the trigger to the center of the recoil pad. A shotgun, needs the proper fitting of a comb, length of pull, cast and drop to meet a comfortable shooting experience.
Taming slug guns; this is a very interesting article to me as I have shot single barrel shotguns in my youth and know all too well how much they kick, however, I have never seen a shotgun with ported holes drilled in it to reduce the kick. This has truly opened my eyes to how there are so many ways to modify guns to fit the person using it. In my opinion, I would think that drilling holes in the top of the barrel would cause the gun to lose some power/distance of the projectile(s). By releasing gas out of the top of the barrel the pressure that is used to push the projectile down the barrel would lose velocity.
You would think a gun that has sold in the tens of millions, wouldn’t need any improvements. After all, with that sort of production run, the proof is in the proverbial pudding the gunmaker has plum figured the magic formula. But, as it pertains to the most prolific shotgun of all time, you’d be dead wrong about the potential for improvement.
In their reign at the top of the rifle world, there have been some pretty dang nifty bolt-action designs to come down the line.
I did not own the proper handgun to participate. The rules and classes made it possible to compete with almost any production handgun, but some did not have the inherent characteristics to shoot high scores at long distances. My obscenely competitive nature would prohibit me from tolerating any such limitation. I had decided that my first purchase would be a longer barreled revolver with a good adjustable sight in a big caliber that was capable of knocking down those 50 pound steel rams at 200 meters. That meant that my seven and one-half inch barreled, Ruger Super Blackhawk with its shorter sight radius and limited ability to be effective at 200 meters, would be traded in at a loss for a new Ruger Super Black with a 10 inch barrel. This “silhouette” model revolver would be made of stainless steel and designed for the purpose of shooting targets at long distances. There is a law of diminishing returns associated with trading in guns before they have aged enough to appreciate in value. Needless to say, my quest for the ultimate production long range revolver began a repetitive cycle of losing money to upgrade my equipment, a model that the computer and cell phone industries have adopted to take advantage of our insatiable desire to stay
First of all I am going to describe what exactly a shotgun is. A shotgun is designed to be fired from the shoulder. The shotgun fires a shell that holds numerous spherical pellets, also called shot when buying them from stores they are classified by the amount of
However, there is a major drawback to a custom shotgun -- price. It typically takes a substantial investment to put a scattergun that's stock is chiseled to fit you like a glove into a gun case. Or does it?
You need to look at brands. Research them individually, get opinions from other people, etc. My shotgun is a Franchi Benelli I-12. They aren't made any more so I got a good price on it ($530). Benelli is a very expensive brand along side Berretta and Remington, and by expensive I mean in the 1000 dollar range.
Luckily, the surging interest in placing a projectile dead on target a country mile away has washed the market with a gun-store worth of precision rifles. Of course, a gander at some of these fine tuned instruments can give some shooters second thoughts about their desires for going long. Given the high tolerances the guns require and special material typically called into action, these rifles can cost a small fortune.
All sports require time and dedication to a certain extent. Dance has been my passion and weekend activity since I was three and became a very serious thing from seven to around twelve. I danced at a studio until I entered middle school at K.O. Knudson and dance was my major. I left K.O. and moved to Summerlin where I now attend Palo Verde. I received dance as my elective, being weary about the class considering I was also recovering from a back injury even during my time at K.O. and on top of that knowing I was loosing all of my skill from being absent forever and a day.

Once upon a time, there was an illegal immigrant named Rosa she came from a poor family and her mother left her when she was 4 years old for another man.
My reliable 20 - gauge Remington 870 shotgun is my most prized possession. My dad bought it for my twelfth Christmas. I sort of knew I was going to get a shotgun because in my family on your twelfth Christmas you get a shotgun. Knowing that didn’t stop me from smiling when I ripped open the wrapping paper to see the box containing my brand new shotgun. My dad had bought me a 20 - gauge pump action Remington 870 combo (that means is has a bird barrel for shooting bird shot and a slug barrel for shooting deer slugs) with a checkered laminate stock. The bird barrel is twenty-eight inches long giving it better accuracy at range and the slug barrel is twenty inches long for easy maneuverability in brush while deer hunting. Although
Remember, the perpetrator can create multiple diseases simultaneously to make the victim restless, angry, and loose cool. But I suffered through all these calmly; I know this is the only way to win. Winning is important because I take this as a game, and If I fail, then disappointed and angry. I am not expecting to win all the time, I am aware. Finally, I have to surrender. Now I am on the verge of defeat.
