And, someone please suggest why this topic has generated so much interest.

( shotgun talk in general, seems muted at best )

Bentaz .... you're not included in this one ! Lol

The Mossbergs are pretty cheap, the 212 is rifled so thats where the money goes there, price a browning A-bolt in 12ga then the savage will look cheap.
There is a sportco mod. 81 on abused guns for a decent price today also.
I have a Mossberg maverick model 95 with a 4x scope on it you can play with when you come out.


Haha true that mate, and yeah i did just that, a-bolt is pricey, might have to shop around for the savage, not really bias eaither way, i've been eyeing of that sportco but i really prefer to handle before i buy, especially after my usedy mossberg experience last week, not a whole lot around at the moment

As for the fuss about single barrels, for me anyway, so reliable, cheap, light, easy to use, but kicks like a mule with magnum shells lol just so practical for what we can have.

I would buy an adler but i can see them not lasting long after the nfa
