down Qe2 / travis estate/avonside way to join the whanau or the glorious grasslands of the lower Avon river.
incidentally was out the lake at one of my favoured spots recently and spooked a mob of 200+geese with an equally large mob of mallards tucked up their jacksies.
Miles too far away to let a shot go ,but not too bloody far to dream of fatman goose a frying in the pan.!

Benellis are my hunting shotguns. I have M1 Super 90s and Novas.

+1 on the Hawks, there branded ranger here but exactly the same.. I've got 2, 1 standard and 1 tactical with a fold out stock and saddle. Probably my favorite gun.

M590a1....top that

Boy do I have a shotty for you. Best you come out to have a play.

there is a 1300 pump on trademe now for $650....oh you said sane price....

Miami, I have always wondered why NZ cops are not issued with Riot shotguns but get Glocks instead. I would have thought that a shotgun would be a lot more versatile. It can be used to block and strike looks intimidating and can fire non-lethal rubber bullets and buckshot as well as lead. Can you give us a run down on the pros and cons of pistol versus shotty. Generally people shot by Police here are killed which has prompted the adoption of Tasers as a means of non lethal defence.I used to have a Winchester riot pump for pigs. Even shot two Chamois with it one morning.

I think you will find that most cars have a shotgun or ar15 or both in the boot, it's not really convenient walking around with a long gun full-time.

Is it really in the best interests of the forum to be discussing the pros and cons of weapons for use against other human beings? A necessary evil they may be, but here is probably not really a place for that discussion

well forum is called hunting and SHOOTING so yeah if it involves shooting then it is appropriate?

I with what @Ryan Songhurst is saying. Much as we share an interest in firearms generally, and often in those more specialised firearms many of us might not usually have an opportunity to (test) fire, there is a wisdom in remembering this is a public forum, and showing appropriate restraint.

Yes there’s a certain irony if we are subsequently discussing ex WW1 303s, but that’s the point; if we can remember the purpose of the weapon we are discussing, we can ensure we are demonstrating/illustrating what being a fit and proper NZ FAL holder is about.
