Santa gave me a 16 GA for Christmas when I was 13. Who was I to
complain? It was a Mossberg bolt action. Held one in the chamber and two
in the clip.
It's not a SISSY GUAGE either. It would take your head off.
Since you don't hunt, tell us why you bought a 12 guage a few years ago.
Was it because of your nearby prison?
My grandfather had an old 10 guage shotgun. It was hard on the shoulder.
