best single shot shotgun?

[ratherbefishin]

Of the various makes,both currently in production and out of production-what would your choice be for a single shot shotgun,in terms of reliability, function and value?

Perazzi DB 81 Single Barrel or a Ljutic Mono.

Depends....for what?
For a slug gun, the hands-down most accurate/dependable/handsome single I ever had the pleasure to own was a Mossberg SSi-One. I loved that gun

it'll be used as a grouse gun-can't find a 20guage shotgun barrel for my savage 219

I would say if you aren't looking to spend alot a stoeger single shot with a vent rib. At Lebaron they run around 140 with a choke tube.

Just wondering, why a single shot?


For grouse:
My .410 IGA cheapo (150 bucks) works great.

But my 20g Beretta 391 is a beauty to shoot and handle, with choice of chokes, and 3 shot mag for hunting. Excellent on the clays too.

Cooey 840. You just have to get the plastic hinge peice replaced on the back of the forestock. My gunsmith had a bag full of metal ones. It is a perfect gun now, and it was cheap too.

Original Winchester model 37. It has a striker system instead of a hammer. .410's can be a little more than the more common 12's and 16's but you will NEVER wear one out.

I would have to agree. Simple, cheap and goes boom EVERY time.

Cooey, with barel cut off at 20". I carried one for years in my airplane survival kit. had several kinds of ammo (slug to #9) plus the Winchester flares. The big thing tome was a gun that could be operated with a single hand, in case I broke a wrist on landing.

Only made two forced landings and neither required the gun - but I know it woudl have worked. it now rides around in the back of a friend's Bonanza.
