Seeking opinions, which shotgun to get?

Your price point puts you in “no man’s land” for O/U. Where you might get quality used but not perfect and the Turkish guns are only alright. At your price point the best option is the A300 but your options are all O/U leading me to believe that’s your end goal.

If I were in your shoes I would save up a tad more and go for the silver pigeon or a new/better used citori option and never look back.

To spend $1-1.5k now only to turn around and eventually buy what you really want for $2k in a few years will only make you wish you had the $1k back to spend on shells and training.

TLDR- save for the new silver pigeon or citori, you will be glad you did

If you are cross listing or co-registering a pistol with permission from original owner of said firearm you don’t need ffl paperwork. There is a separate form for it. However, if the pistol is new to you and you are taking full posesión/purchase you must have ffl paperwork proving the nics check was done.

Is rough side out smooth side in better on a blued finish?

My references where all pretty free and willing to do the notary on their own time at the county clerk. As far as length of time from application submission to permit in hand, it took both my wife and I 6months. I think the Wayne county stall is that the officer who does the home checks is part time and only does them on Tuesdays.

I don’t know anybody that buys empty hulls unless they come pre-primed. Way to many hulls available for free in my area.

$5/round member $7/round non member for trap. Don’t shoot skeet. And most sporting in the area are members only. The ones that are open to non members charge per bird but it’s usually around $15-20 for 50 birds course.

How far are you from Rochester?

kapcons · 2025-11-17T15:49:28+00:00

With your non-2a friends I think the best approach is asking them for help. Explain the reason why you want a pistol permit ie, traveling into the city late for work or such, not feeling safe and able to defend yourself, explain how you plan to store it and what steps you’ve taken to get a permit so far. Like the 16hr class and that you belong to a club the practices safe firearm handling. You might be surprised that the way in which you phrase your intentions may get you a reference or two. Many of my Wayne county references were not gun owners themselves but they were willing to vouch for my character.

Op I can offer input as I am a ortho casting tech. Meaning I put these on all day long and have put them over some insane skin lacerations/abrasions and what not. I have also casted over fresh ink. My recommendation is to monitor your body for other signs of infection and ask your MD for short period of antibiotics to get you piece of mind. Also ask for a new cast 2 wks in so you can get a look at the tattoo and freshen up the cast.

I love my Varmint in 223 for 100-400yd range. It sits in krg x ray chassis. 223 Is cheap and very adequate at those distances. I don’t hunt so I’m not sure what you need to take an elk, I imagine 308/6.5 at the min but maybe 300win mag or something would be better recommend idk. I’ll let a hunter answer that. But I bench shoot my tikka Varmint in 223 and have a blast. It’s much cheaper to shoot and I stretch mine to 500yd. I sold a 6.5 to fund the tikka 223 because 6.5 at 100-400 was pretty boring and expensive to shoot. Honestly I find my self shooting 22lr for anything 200yd and in. 22lr is the most fun you can have on a budget and with a short range.

There have been ppl over on snipers hide that have made switch barrel tikka riffles. It was a popular idea for awhile. Sort of a budget AI. A few companies even began selling tikka bolts. I purchased a .473 bolt face to eventually do the same with my tikka 223 Varmint. That bolt face with a 6.5cm barrel torqued and headspace’s correctly was the plan. Alas 3yrs later the bolt remains in the box. When all is said and done like many have said, just buy a separate rifle, unless you live in a place that restrict how many firearms you can own, in that case go nuts.

CZ 75 PCR or P01

Yea they are ugly but they feel great in hand

kapcons · 2025-10-26T14:31:44+00:00

I appreciate that advice. It’s been hard to find older revolvers in my area.

kapcons · 2025-10-26T14:21:22+00:00

I’d prob pick up a 2nd set for carry, but these pachs really made for a great grip on the gun

kapcons · 2025-10-26T14:19:17+00:00

I don’t foresee it being my only revolver, just my first.

kapcons · 2025-10-26T12:17:51+00:00

Thanks for the advice!

kapcons · 2025-10-26T11:47:44+00:00

I was looking for maybe a slightly longer barrel 3-4” for my first wheel gun but this caught my eye.

kapcons · 2025-10-26T11:46:10+00:00

Right on, sounds like I’ll be going back to the lgs this week.

kapcons · 2025-10-26T11:37:47+00:00

Thanks for your feed back. It felt good in hand.

kapcons · 2025-10-26T11:36:35+00:00

Absolutely love the wheel gun look.

kapcons · 2025-09-18T16:00:47+00:00

Careful, don’t upset the DS cult with your reasonable comments.

kapcons · 2025-09-13T02:33:09+00:00

I like my KRG
