Bolt Action Shotgun

Woodsman said:
My dad has a marlin bolt gun in 20 gauge. It looks bulky and heavy, yet it is one of the lightest shotguns I've ever held. It works flawless and is real nice to shoot. His is full choke with a relatively long barrel (either 28 or 30"...can't remember) and looks really long compared to single or double break actions which I prefer for small game. I keep telling my dad to have the barrel cut back, but he insists on keeping it original.

All around, it's a great gun.

the smaller gauge bolt guns do the have a locking face or is it the same with the larger 12 gauge and relies on the bolt to keep the action closed?
 
I have my Grandad's Mossberg 410 which he used as his Cottage gun back in the day. I also had a Stevens 58 12g but sold it to buy truck parts.
And just recently (Nov) purchased another Stevens of the EE for $30 but ened up paying another CGN $37 for a mag. I can't wait to take out for some bunny blasting. I grew up with that Mossy .410 for all my small game needs and it sits at my Dad's place for his small game needs.
 
I have an old steven's in .410 nice little shotgun, still gets used atleast a few times a year, and it's held up really good over the years.
 
The first shotgun i ever bought was a mossberg 16ga bolt action with selcect choke. I bought it for $65. It still looks good and shoots great. I still like to take it out for birds occasionally.
 
I have a GEHA that I got on trade quite a while ago. Seeing this thread made me realize that it's in the back of the safe, waiting to be shot :redface: .
From what I can remember, she's complete. I'll be giving her a thorough going over before I pull the trigger on a live round though.
