The fondness @Empostarr spoke of about his Mossberg got me thinking. If the support thread didn’t exist to “talk you out of” buying more things and you could only own one gun (to hunt with) what would you buy and why?
Personally I’ve had my Remington 870 express since I was 11 years old and I’d make that purchase again. Bought it slightly used for $125. Got the slug barrel as my big Christmas gift from my folks that year to be ready for youth deer the next year. I shot trap with it, hunted pheasants, partridge, ducks, geese, turkeys, and deer with it. Dropped it into slough water and shot ducks 10 minutes later. Won a 20 yard youth trap shooting contest with it when I was 14 and got second in the adult portion the same night. Shot a buck on a dead run at 75 yards after I tripped in a plowed corn field and based it off that frozen dirt. Guessing many of us have something we’re just as fond of and wouldn’t trade away, sometimes the darn memories are worth more.
Tried to search (including the google sort words way) and didn’t see anything but if so I’m sure a more veteran member will help and redirect.
