Alrighty I have an idea and wanted to run it past you guys. I live in California, and we all know, California sucks for shooting. In order for me to shoot my bolt action, I have to drive an hour and a half to get to the range. I don't do much hunting, and don't really plan to while living in California. I was thinking that I could trade in my Weatherby Vanguard 30-06 with a Bushnell 3-9x40 scope and a Harris bipod and get a Springfield Armory XD in .45ACP

1)Would this be a fair trade, would the gunstore go for that? I paid 600 for the rifle/scope and the pistol is 550 ish

2)If I wanted to hunt sometime, could I get a rifled barrel for my Mossberg 500 pumpshotgunand use that instead for hunting?

I just want a pistol that I can take to the pistol range, which is about 20 minutes away, and shoot off a bunch of rounds. The 30-06 is great to have and I love it, but it just doesn't get use and I want to be able to shoot alot, not just 5-10 rounds and then be done and have to drive all the way home.

Let me know what you guys think.
Tom
