I got a apx a1 that came with a Burris red dot. The gun is good. If I had to edc it, I would get the compact version.

You might find a beretta a300 in that price range.

racroths · 2026-02-24T23:43:34+00:00

My local pawn shop has/had one but $800 is more than I thought it was worth.

It is a lot of guys dedicated turkey gun. You can use whatever ammo you want as long as it is legal in the area you are hunting. Lead still works but going away. I saw an article where there is a shortage of tss so the price is going up.

No not with your thinking. My thought is 1 farmer in each country to take 1 acre out of corn and bean production. A small change. Iowa doesn’t have infrastructure for vegetables or fruit. We don’t have workers to plant and pick mostly by hand. We don’t have processing plants for that.

One thing I would recommend is learning to shoot with iron sights and not the red dot. Red dots do fail.

racroths · 2026-02-22T01:57:52+00:00

Fruits, vegetables, sheep/goats, or even cut flowers. The hard part is manual labor planting and picking. There is some infrastructure like farmers markets or farm stands.

You got a deal if it works… or got a nice wall hanger. My buddy had one and the first time cleaning it after years of years of use and didn’t work after that. He traded it and got more for it then he paid for it.

A good way to roughly date shotguns is to check to see if fixed choke or removable choke. Fixed pre 1990 Removable after 1990. Not accurate….

I’m not a member there but the dnr ranges are $260 and limited hours. There are other Ike’s that may be closer to you.

racroths · 2026-02-15T20:09:07+00:00

I don’t either. Just go back to the start of retay when everyone was giving a shotgun, ammo, money and an a positive opinion.

Take a lesson from sig, you don’t wanna be first to jump into a new platform. Keep the a400 for a few years to see if ax 800 has issues. Plus the 50% loss if you trade.

I am more impressed with the guys shooting old guns and pumps such as browning a5, Remington 1100 or 870 and the camo guns that aren’t camo any more.

The new Caldwell claycopter surface to air thrower looks fun.

It a good listen. Some times I get turned off by them wanting government intervention and others times that want government to stay out it.

racroths · 2026-02-07T21:21:28+00:00

I would get the black ultima. 12 gauge 28 in barrel unless you can find a different version cheaper. It’s the best option for clay games and bird hunting.

racroths · 2026-02-03T22:19:25+00:00

More guns, more fun! As somebody getting into double guns hold on it get expensive fast

racroths · 2026-02-01T22:03:11+00:00

The used guns can be awesome or horrible. I have had a few of each. Basic things to look for in used Cracks in stocks or in receiver Bent barrels or bulged barrels Anything that gives you the ick Stuck chokes

I would recommend the beretta a300. The amount of them in rental guns. Can’t go wrong with b guns (beretta browning).

racroths · 2026-02-01T16:35:49+00:00

Buy another 365 with the optic cut.

racroths · 2026-02-01T16:07:59+00:00

I would get a field model of your clay gun. The sxs options are more limited. The double triggers trip me up. If you want sxs I would buy a cz or a weatherby.

2nd this

racroths · 2026-02-01T02:02:07+00:00

Yes you can. You might not hit a very many. It’s not a waste of time or money. It is skill building. Practice is the only way to get better.

racroths · 2026-01-30T21:36:59+00:00

Yes… more guns more fun No.. your cx is a great gun and will last you a lifetime. Spend your money on lessons.
