Title: best single shot shotgun
Post by: Naches Sportsman on June 23, 2012, 05:12:51 PM: I have been wondering what you all have as far as single shot's. I was thinking of getting a 20 or .410 for hauling around in my car while in the woods.

For what your looking for I'd look for an older Savage 220, a nice older single with a safety and no exposed hammer. You can find them in sets with a 30-30 or 22 Hornet spare barrel. The rifle barrels are realy handy on these because you can mount the scope low and dont have to leave clearance for your thumb to cock the hammer.

save the 410 for plinking and get a twenty- you will recover more birds, plus you can throw a slug in there if need be.
