H&R single shot 10 gauge

I wonder how many starlings you,can bring down out of the hoard with this thing.....

For Starlings i would load 2 1/2oz of #9 shot and use a skeet choke.

I have one of those H&R single shot 10 gauge.  Feels like it should be mounted on a turret!  I had it cut down to an 18 inch barrel for fun.  Very intimidating to look down that barrel!

Sounds like a great little "truck gun".  Good for anything between grouse and antifa.

Sportco had 10gauge buckshot on the shelf last week.  Bet that would leave a mark.

I bet it would leave a mark!  I have a bunch of large shot size lead loads in the armory in 10 gauge - leftover hand loads that dad loaded up from back when you could shoot lead for waterfowl.

I assume you're talking about the model 176?  Any kind of condition you're looking for?

36 inch barrel and something safe to shoot?

I bought one of the new england single shot 10 gauges quite some time ago new at a show for $170, neat gun but it does kick like a mule with magnum turkey loads.

I'd only keep a 10 gauge as a backup turkey/truck gun. Probably cut it to 22".

Hunting geese with a single shot means you might miss on a double.

I can also pop a 4th shell in a semi-auto pretty quickly.

Unless you are hunting in your backyard I don't see it.

I drive too far to risk a single shot.

A 3 1/2" 10 ga and a 3" 12 ga shoot the same fps , just more pellets in the 10. A 31/2" 12 ga is Peeing in the wind. Your trying to get a larger amount of pellets out of a constricted barrel. That's why they kick so darn bad and still have lower velocities. They shoot 3" 12s fine but the gun weighs too much.

Shooting a 3.5 out of a 12 gauge is not peeing in the wind.
You can get some really nice patterns out of them but you have to experiment.
I had some really nice patterns out of my 535 using a 3.5 vs 3.

Or you can just buy an overbored 12 gauge.

I've got some 10 gauge shells if any of you guys are interested.  Probably 5 or 6 boxes.

What do you have and what are you looking to get for them?

I bought a single shot 10 off of gunbroker a few years back to pass shoot geese.  It was a cool gun.  My house was broken into and it was stolen along with my 12 guage.  The replacement 12 was 3.5 inch so never replaced the 10.  would love to have another one just for fun.... yes i now have a safe
