    My rem 870 is blued and that thing has been for a swim in the kaipara river among other abuses, not a spot of rust on it.....

    Anyone wanna buy a shot gun😊

    Read the reviews, one is a bit further up the quality tree than the other.

    Gotch. Like a toyota and a BMW...both good cars, but the BMW just better. I thought you were meaning don't do it because the M18 was rubbish. So i was curious why you thought that.

    Doesn't surprise me that the precision hunter shoots the best. Those corelokts are a better bush bullet and looks like they shoot nicely too

    I'm not. It's never shot well for me. I reckon the blue stuffs better. All depends on the rifle though.
