A popular to 1010 yard target cartridge.I wouldn't think it would matter but the old rifle is chambered for a 44-90
I'd hate to be your interior plaster.This is my idea of a "house gun" Another one made in Italy, the SPAS 12 holds 9 shells and can be set to semi-auto or pump action.
I also pack this boat anchor around pheasant hunting! When she's at home I load it, buckshot, slug, buckshot, slug, buckshot, slug.........

Just a couple more pics of the "black gun" in use!When the thread goes in the direction of home invasions and tactical weapons and violence coming and going I am pretty much out of this thread. I grew up in a kinder and gentler America and still live in The Last Best Place, and those are those are the guns and knives that I own and love and show here. I wish that we could all live in a safe place, but I know that is not going to happen. To tell the truth, I don't think that firearms that are specifically designed to kill people are the best choice for this forum, but they are of course very traditional in some cases. What could be more traditional than a 1911, for instance? But...still... it can get disturbing to me when I start seeing the black guns. It is a gray line. It makes me sad, on a strictly emotional note, I suppose. But more scientifically, I can report that game and fish departments across the United States have caved into political pressure to keep revenues up to allow AK type .223 rifles to take game, which is absolutely NOT COOL. I am able to say this from extensive personal experience. The whole American hunting experience has somewhat sickened in recent decades.
No Winchester, a Kimber .300 Short Mag. Have another in 7mm-08. Love both of them. The two newer Winchester bolt guns I owned were both a bit finicky so they went down the road.Helle, Winchester and Leupold?
I am loving the .32 special Winchester lever 94. I have some fond memories of one just like it that Grandpa had.

It's not hypocritical to have an opinion and express it. The "tactical" look stuff isn't my thing at all. If that makes me a hypocrite, I can dig it. I got a belly full of them long ago.I'm so glad I don't get hung up on the color of other people's guns. Seems like a miserable hypocritical way to enjoy the hobby.
