I'd fire a half dozen shots if the law would let me I need a 3rd because I get too excited with rabbits and just start blasting. By the time the 3rd shot comes around, they're just then getting out a ways where the improved cylinder opens up and clips them ;D ;D ;D

When I shoot an Automatic which YES I do have one it seems that I always shoot too fast and need the extra shot. When I am using my SXS or the O/U I take my time and make them count and seem to get more birds. Besides I shoot much better with the latter two guns.

Jeez, Red! I'd think a guy as tight with a buck as you are would try to save some ammo, take a deep breath, aim, and make the first shot count - it's cheaper that way! I was started with a single shot break open, and then went to a side by side. Every time I pick up an autoloader or pump, my first thought is "Holy Smokes, this thing is long!". I do own a pump - a Mossberg turkey gun. It has a 20 inch barrel, and that feels about right to me. An autoloader or pump with even a 26 inch barrel feels to me like I'm trying to swing a 5 foot 2x4.

I have a 32 inch extra full barrel for my 870. It groups wonderful but it is long. I mainly use it at stillboard shoots and for coyotes.
I think my others are 28, 26 and 20 with a couple of 18.5 smooth bore slug barrels. I only have the cutts compensator barrel for removable chokes. O buy the barels whenever I find them in the used area and they have vent rib barrels.

With the possible exception of Rabbits, anything I have hunted was out of range by the time one could get off a third shot. Two would be fine with me.

Red, how much they want for it? maybe this would be good for one of my midgets? I'm not sure. It's at Cabelas (don't know if it's on the floor or in the back) so you can imagine the price tag on it is about as expensive as the new ones on the shelves. Dad can get it for like 10% over what they paid for it since it's been sitting so long. I don't know what that comes to but the employees want nothing to do with the gun from what he said.

When I shoot an Automatic which YES I do have one it seems that I always shoot too fast and need the extra shot... I just recently learned that the Virginia General Assembly finally passed (a couple of years ago) a law which did away with the 3-shot restriction except for what is federally mandated for migratory birds. I fussed about that law for years but now, that it's gone, I am not sure that I will start removing the plugs from my repeating shotguns. Invariably I would forget to reinstall a plug before going dove hunting and would have my gun checked by a game warden. In Virginia it's not how many shells you actually have in the gun but how many can be loaded into the magazine which is the basis for issuing tickets. I think after all this that I'll just leave well enough alone.
