With Browning rereleasing the ABolt
Shotgun was wondering how many are going to get one.I plan on having one before the year ends.
 
Already have mine :) Been using it for years, it is the sweetest slug shooter out there. Just the right weight and configuration with a good trigger. Shoots two inch groups at one hundred with a 1.5 to 5 leupold on it. If the new ones are anything like it you will be very happy!!

Didn't Browning come out with the A-Bolt shotgun back in the 1990's ??

Yes. It wasn't in production long. I fired one owned by a friend in the 90's and was very impressed. It was the most accurate slug gun I've ever fired. Nice to see them back and would be my choice for the shotgun-only season.
 
"...can't deer hunt with a rifle..." It's a bolt action, detachable 2 round mag, 3" chambered, rifled barrel, shotgun. MSRP is $1100 to $1240US.
As daft as it sounds, shotguns with a rifled barrel are still considered to be shotguns for 'shotguns only' WMU's. Asked the MNR about it a few years ago.

I meant "can". typo
 
I remember in the 80's we used to see a bunch of those Mossberg? bolt shotguns in the exploration camps. They had detachable 2 shot box magazines IIRC. The companies liked them because they were dirt cheap. Not anymore I guess :(

My bolt action Mossy is from the 60's, but has a blind mag. Nice little shotgun, but I am not a big fan of a bolt action for a shotgun.
 
I have a H&R bolt in 12ga and also a Mossberg 535 3-combo with a rifled barrel, I'm not going to drop more than a grand in another shotgun. I've heard they're nice though, still a bit too pricey for a slug only gun, the Savage is priced more competitively in my opinion, and you'd get about the same accuracy since it's just a slug gun.
 
Heard nothing but great things about this. but never seen one in person. Would love to send a few down the pipe, but I doubt I would spend the cash and buy one for use for a week.

So you are the guy with the H&R Gamester? :D how do you find it shoots? I heard it has a 4 shot tubular magazine. I have:

"A bolt shotgun":D - It's a Savage 58D in 20 gauge, works fine now, I still have to sight it in. Half the fun was getting it to shoot reliably. I am getting a Mossberg 395K 12 gauge soon. I am looking forward to playing with it to be honest. Good cheap fun they are! :)

What do you mean ?? :confused: I haven't shot it yet , I'm going to bed the action first since it seems a little sloppy in the stock. Not by much but when you're shooting 12GA slugs I'd rather make it a little sturdier first. Yes it does have the tubular magazine.
