the thing is, i wont be buying a gun other than that 270 for a while. This will be the first gun of my own. The only other gun i have access to is my dad's 20ga single shot and i don't know if it even has chokes, its old, so old ive never even seen it, my dad isn't an active hunter or shooter. Thank god i have unles on both sides of my family that i can visit, one is in jamaica and does dove hunting in the mountains, and the other owns 100 acres in oklahoma that i can roam and shoot everything from rabbits to coyotes.
