Good for you, TNPhil. You haven't mentioned, but In case you don't yet have a scattergun 12ga, it's just a primo "nice to have", inside the abode or out. Incredible versatility, especially on some acreage. Even a beater has-been from a pawn shop can do. I've cut a handful of 28" full chokers down to 18 1/2", trimmed the stock to 12.5", and they sit at 34" overall. (About the average short AR platform.) A simple squaring off & chamfering and these now "cylinder bore" bbl's print slugs at 60yds at 7", just like my 870 Rem Wingmaster pump with the slug bbl/ sights. At night, inside the abode, it's hard to better a scattergun with 00 or #4's in the hands of your loved ones.

Ohhhh,,45-70, Nice. So, JustEd: Can't really go wrong with that 308, great resale either way. (30-30 or 308). My old 308's are often popped off with (reloads) loaded down to 30-30 velocities, so a good excuse for to getting into reloading. Just saying. I really can't afford to shoot over the counter $$ as much as I shoot. Compass . . 45-70 (loads) can be had at 30-30 recoil or outright tear-making brutal for pissed-off 400 lb gone-feral hogs. Any guy buying a 45-70 (you) knows this . . I'm just trying to temp JustEd. I love my 45-70's.

Glad to be here among you. 30 years of Palma at a click, IHMSA comp, and 30 years of casting my own for 45-70, 44, 35, 30 cal. The amount of lead ingots from scrap lead in my garage has no doubt altered Earth's wobble a fraction. Now retired, I shoot my 45-70's less now, (no doubt contributing to less air pollutants, so I'm told.) No matter, I've tripled up on the 44 cals and 35's, so I maintain my karmic balance, says my wife. A smart woman.
