You see anything I could use from here?

That's where I bought my AR stuff from. But at the time, they were building the new place they're in now. Haven't been there yet. Forgot all about the place, but someone came in today with one of their sweatshirts on. Figure it'd be a neat thing to do for half a day with kiddo this weekend.

for whatever reason I was thinking perhaps a 20 gauge. no idea why. perhaps something for kiddo to take over when he's a bit older? /shrug

see anything that stands out in the, oh, $300 to $500 range?
 
Weird too, nothing comes up under optics? there a shortage of them too now?

I haven't been to a guns shop since this summer. Bass Pro and their entire ammo section was closed.
 
Nemo Omen in 300 win mag stands out.
yea, that'd be nice.

anyways, what's the scoop on Stevens shotguns? Something tells for <$300 I'm not really expecting much.

hrm. perhaps something for the AR then.
 
I don't have one, but from what I've heard the Stevens shotguns are a decent gun for the money.

Speaking from experience, when you cut down a 20ga for a young kid to use, they become so light that recoil is an issue. I have a youth 870 20ga that is a great and accurate gun with deer slugs, but my kids didn't like shooting it because it was very light and had a lot of recoil for a young kid. They'd much rather shoot my 1100 or just jump up to a 12ga.

Most of the guys I know are switching to straight walled center fire rounds for getting their kids started on guns past the rimfire stage.

same thing holds true for the "youth" models in 243. very light, and short like it needs to be, but it brings the weight down and the recoil is sharp.

starting kids on something classic like the .222 or 223. or something new like the 204 ruger, isnt a bad idea. straight wall centerfire cartridges like the 45-70 should be avoided. :flipoff2:
 
So, a Mosin probably isn't the best thing to start with?

That's how I was introduced. :laughing:
