10-guage

[Jonathan Chenault]

Does anyone know where a reasonably priced pump action 100-guage can be purchased?

Well, what is reasonable to you? What are you willing to spend?

WOW...100 gauge. That must be like shooting dust. One question, does Federal make a tactical load in that chambering?

The only 10 ga. shotguns that I've seen for sale the last several years have been semi-auto. Remington makes the SP-10 and I still see the old Ithaca Mag 10 Roadblockers occassionally at gunshows.

Browning makes a BPS in 10 gauge. I've seen them new for around $450 - $500; you might want to check with your local gun shops about tracking one down.

Be warned, although this is one heavy piece of equipment, it packs a heck of a lot of recoil.

I would recomend a 12guage 3 1/2". Almost as effective as 10 guage but is more popular and you can buy a wider range of factory loads.

I would also go with the 3 1/2 inch 12 guage over the 10ga. Those 10s are big, mean, heavy, mommas! Regards, Mikey

IME 10 guage = "ouch" But they do make a wonderful roaring sound (which you hear for about 2 hours after you put it up)

Why a pump? Given the amount of shot going downrange from one or two rounds AND the impact on your shoulder AND the expense of each round, a double barrel is more than adequate. Besides, you'll need the weight of the extra barrel to deal with the recoil which, take it from someone who has a SxS 10 gauge, is no worse than a 30-06 (though the gun is HEAVY - as in 10 lbs!

The 10gauge also patterns much better than a 3 1/2" 12 gauge since the shot is not strung out so far and since less of it contacted the bore on the way out and thus is less deformed.

Now if we could find a source for reasonably priced 10 gauge ammo...
