I bought mine in 1996, a walnut stocked Special Purpose, it has been a good shotgun and I have killed a fair number of geese and a few turkeys with it. It has been dependable with all but the lightest loads when kept clean.

Again, it is common for scammers to immediately reach out to a buyer and try to trick the buyer into sending them funds instead of the legitimate seller. Doesnt necessarily mean the legitimate seller is hacked. It has happened to me a couple times when agreeing to purchase items here. Just...

In my experience, which is admittedly not extensive, the Black Ice PFTE coating is more durable than Cerakote.

I sent the 760 in to Black Ice, should have it back in a couple weeks. I will post some pics and maybe a video when it returns. I also think DLC is a great option, but not sure if they can do all small parts, pins and springs.

The cartridge and bullet will be more than sufficient if you keep ranges moderate. The single shot rifle could be a handicap, I have shot some grizzlies and one Kodiak bear. All received multiple shots, not because the first shot didnt or wouldnt kill it, but because I dont want to dig a bear...

Maybe I should go this route !! Then use the leftovers on myself, my "boss" is definitely getting discolored as well.

Speaking for myself the mental preparation begins WAYYY before any given morning of the hunt. Lots of practice and drills, lots of visualization of shot scenarios. No undue stress during the hunt, just a commitment to do everything possible to not screw up.

I will give that a try, thanks ! I will test on a small area first, but that sounds like a simple and easy solution.

I have not flaked a big enough piece off, afraid it is actually horn. When I did chip a tiny piece off, it looked the same underneath.
