What's the best gun for me?
Hey I'm looking at buying a new gun. I told my buddy my pockets weren't that deep and I wanted the power and reliability of a shotgun and the range of a rifle. My buddy recommend a rifled slug gun or something to shoot sabot rounds. The only thing is I don't know what kind of shotgun to get . Will any rifled one work? If so can you throw out a few ideas of a cheaper reliable gun.( Right now single shot its out of the question)

Grab a couple of boxes of different slugs and see which perform best.
However, this combo will not have the effective range of a rifle by a long shot. Not sure "power and reliabilty" are any less in a rifle either, but if that's your take, so be it.

You can throw slugs through a smooth bore as long as your choke is big enough, I think IC or Cylinder are fine. I recommend going to a pawn shop if you really want to get cheap.

Way too little info to give you a good recommendation???
Is there someone in your life that can mentor you???
What are the uses you want with this gun??? Many of us learned
to hunt with a .22 and moved up from there...
A 20 gauge makes a good beginners gun as well..

Im looking for something universal. Hunting, self defense. I want enough range to hit something up to 100 yards. With more power than a 22lr. I should.be able to get that out a rifled slug.
