2 Gun Combo

[tydaws]

Two shotguns, neither of which is all that waterfowl capable, and still no .22lr? Don't be so hard on yourself--you need more! (just like me)

I'm very unlikely to ever actually end up in this position. Just making the point that I don't believe I'd be lacking (for the hunting that I do) if I did. You're certainly right, everyone needs a 22 or five. However, I just don't shoot the ones that I own very much at all.

I will strongly disagree on the capability of the 20 gauge on waterfowl. I've been shooting a left handed Benelli M2 20ga exclusively for ducks and geese the last two seasons, with BOSS copper plated bismuth & I've never once felt under gunned or lacking whatsoever. Most especially when compared with a 12ga loaded with steel shot. I don't ever plan to purchase another single round of steel shot, unless there is literally no other option. Modern ammunition has changed the game!

I have more.

6.5 Grendel, 5.56 NATO, and.300 Blackout but they are in the AR platform. Just not something I care to hunt with. Also have some “tactical” shotguns and a lever action 45-70.

As for pistols and revolvers I got quite a few. I even have one in .41 Magnum with a scope for hunting. I don’t mind some of the newer cartridges but my hunting rifles have to be a controlled route feed left handed bolt with the exception of the lever action 45-70. I also have a .338 Win Mag so I reckon my four gun battery is 6.5 Creedmoor, .338 Win Mag, and .375 Ruger and 45-70 at the moment.

I prefer the .338WM over the.300WM and anything I would use the .300WM for I use the .338WM.
