Thread: If you only had one to rule all

I think all of us are approaching this from the wrong angle we are stating our rifles generally - one rifle - okay 12 gauge shotgun 6-7 shot smaller birds 3-4 shot ducks 2 shot rabbits geese buckshot goats- solid slug- everything else - (yes two barrels -one rifled )only one problem - convincing those silly DOC buggers to give you a special permit as a 12 gauge rifle

I love waterfowl hunting but tbh if I could only have one then my shotguns miss out and so do the birds. Big game has always been number one for me so being able to do what I currently do there would win in my priorities.

wrong me old mate...if the barrel is rifled...it is by very definition a RIFLE so the yogi can take me to court..he will end up with egg on his face...as long as you werent carrying pocket full of birdshot he wouldnt have a leg to stand on.
and you forgot about a insert in barrel which does turn it into a rifle..... could be interesting with 12ga rifled barrel and smaller cartridge insert in the other one....

Mickey Duck me old china I agree with you - it is a 12 gauge rifle if it has a rifled barrel - DOC permit condition say any shotgun is out - I tried when in DOC to get permits for guys wanting to use solids no luck -- we need you to try this rifled barrel one out - please keep us posted - top man
