If traditional shotgun is not all that important, I would look at a Knight TK2000 or a White Tomanator in 12 guage. Easy to load, easy ignition, and great range to them. I am sure the ones from Cabela's are fine, but I have never shot one. I shoot a simple .62 caliber smoothbore.

Cabela's guns are good guns for the money. I have the 12 ga. double barrel that I have used for squirrels, doves, ducks, pheasants. SO MUCH FUN!!! I have used my Thompson/Center New Englander with a 12 ga. barrel, purchased seperately from Fox Ridge Outfitters, to take wild turkey with.
Can't speak for the modern versions. I love the traditional guns!

Outside of a custom gun, you've picked the best on the market, in my opinion! The 10 ga. mag can be loaded up for geese or turkeys, or, loaded down for ducks, pheasants etc.
If you choose this shotgun, you won't be disappointed with the quality and performance.

She is pretty.

One thought comes to mind. How hard would the mule kick if both barrels go off at the same time!.

Dang, I want a ML shotgun too!

Can you say "CHRISTMAS BONUS"!!!!!!! I'll be buying this after Christmas! The only problem is that I'll be going to Australia for 6 weeks and won't really have too much time time to mess with it! But she sure is a looker!

Thanks for the advice!

What is the difference between the smoothbore .62 cal and the 10 gauge??? I would mostly be using this for Grouse and Pheasant!
