I have a 870 Super Mag I purchased when they first came out. I have used it to kill everything from doves to deer. Those 3 1-2 inch shells don’t bother me as much when I was younger, even got a rifled slug barrel for it when I hunted military installations. Definitely a reliable gun.
Here is the Ronin with the AOS system. Came stock with the Viridian green dot and co-witness sights. Haven’t been to the range yet. Honey Do List has me locked down for now with the purchase of a historical commercial building.
I run the 168gr NBT in my rifle with a book max load of Varget . Prints right at 3/4 inch. It was the first load I tried and didn’t go any further with load development since season was already in. Varget is always a good choice for the 308.
I lived in WNC about 20 years ago. There is plenty of area around there to hunt mostly mountains. We have family in the Asheville area and it’s super liberal. A Gay Soldier I served with called it the SanFrancisco of the east coast. Property is expensive in that area as well and traffic is crazy.
I agree, all the ladies in my family love the way the 5 inch 1911 in 9mm feels. For me it’s just not as comfortable to carry as a 4.25 inch 1911 with my style of concealed carry.
I like the Ronin. I got the 5 inch model in 9mm . Great shooting pistol. Looking at the 4.25 inch gear pac now, it comes with factory red dot and 3 mags.
