Bought the 14" from Corwin Arms for a farm scouting gun. We have dozens of jackrabbits, groundhogs etc. Nuisance pest animals that can leave massive equipment destroying dens.

Very happy with this little gun, tucked a full choke in the nose and put #4 into it makes it a perfect near 40 to 50 yard duster.

 
Nice to see one in action. I'm on the fence about buying one. Would make a nice turkey gun. I'm just not into folding guns. That's what has stopped me from buying one. I prefer the cooey or hnr style more

It's a very handy light little pack rig. 12ga is hard to beat for near anything in 30 yards and still effective to 50. To each his own but taxes in this was just over $200 gun.

Yes, they are a serious pest in tree crops. The permits are good for 10 years current runs out in 2018.

Wait, there's actually a season for rabbits in Ontario? You guys have rules about the rules you need to read in order to be able to look at the rules.

On the upside, I wish I could get within 50 yards of a rabbit out here. 100yards + is as close as I can get. This one was at a little over 150 yards:

But back to the OP's statement:

Yes, the Sinsinatti single shots are very much a step up over the other Turkish singles floating around right now. Very nice fit and finish. Very reliable and positive ejection - just don't use the Remington white box with the nickle/aluminum bases.

I've had mine for 8 months now, and it's been a solid performer. Mostly used it for harrying maggies and crows.

Interesting mine did not eject well until I lubed it up with fluid film lubricant, works near identical to your video. Was the ejection on yours that good out of the box?

For fun I patterned mine at the prompting of trap shooting buddy and was pleasantly surprised. As you said very nicely finished gun. Great value.

That was straight out of the box. I ran a patch down the barrel to clean out any grease, and that was it.

It's actually kind of a "test protocol" thing. For milsurps, they get broken down completely and inspected - because "milsurp". New in box guns... Patch through the bore to clear grease and obstructions. Then shoot it. If it needs more than that to get going, good chance I'm sending it back.

I'm sorry grelmar...... I never get tired of your friend getting recoil stunned then ejecting a shell into his face....... I watch it every time you post it...... Lol

No need to be sorry. i laugh my arse off at that on a regular basis. But 3" magnum slugs are stiff out of this thing. I think it caught him off guard ;)

Bumped from the depths as I was being way too proactive on a slow a day. The local MNR office confirmed that excepting geese and deer, a permit is no longer required for blasting bunnies etc. nibbling/girdling trees.

Excerpt

" Section 31 of the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act speaks to the protection or defence of property. Under section 31, anyone who believes that wildlife is damaging or is about to damage their property, may, on their own land, harass or kill the offending wildlife. These provisions apply to all property owners, not just farmers. However, one cannot simply shoot wildlife because it is there. The threat must either be happening, or about to happen. Although a hunting licence is not required to protect one’s property, you must have a firearm’s licence.

These provisions apply to all wildlife except wildlife on the endangered species list plus moose, caribou, elk or white-tailed deer. The prohibitions on harassing, capturing or killing an endangered species need no explanation. Moose, caribou, or white-tailed deer are “big game” species with a regulated hunting season; likely the reason for their exclusion. Between 1998 and 2001, elk were reintroduced at four Ontario locations. An elk hunting season in North Hastings began in 2011."

Since I have the evidence of dead/girdled trees with fresh rabbit droppings left behind I am in the clear. I usually don't take more than a dozen rabbits and deer are easily put off by Irish Spring so far. Although I have neighboring orchards who have put up deer fencing on a couple of blocks of trees. I will now add the odd turkey to the list as I have seen a flock of turkeys that I fenced out, with the occasional hungry turkey breaching the fencing.
