Shotguns

[gajinoz]

I have a single-shot .410 made by Baikal in Russia (also sold under Remington name).
They are inexpensive, well made, and reliable guns. I recall seeing a Baikal distributor in NZ, so it is likely you will fine one in OZ aswell.

Lever action shotguns fall under Class A category. Good choice if you want a repeater.
Marlin and Winchester both make one in .410

Thanks for that, I was thinking lever action might be the way to go.

If it's true, think about how accurate you could be further out. The general rule of thumb is that a snake has a strike range of 2/3rds it length. At a hundred yards you could be a foot off the mark of a 3 foot snake and still kill it. Two hundred yards is even better. That's probably why there's no hundred foot snakes anymore. Miss your shot at the Wooly Mammoth and if there's a hundred foot snake behind it within 66 foot of the bullet path, boom, it's dead. Back in the day, you could probably just walk out your cave, close your eyes, spin around 10x, fire your gun and kill a hundred foot snake.

I don't know what you're on, but I want some of it.

I like this Marlin. The Model 410 is a reintroduction of a gun last produced in the 1920s.
Lever action, cap. 4 x 2 1/2 inch.

All this shotgun talk and especially that short barrel double video make me want to go break out my shotguns. I love my shotguns.
