took out my Sulun Tac-12 (benelli m4 clone) with 14'' barrel to the paddock yesterday: damned thing cycled everything i fed it! even a 1.75 inch Aquilla mini shell. Nice to finally have a shotgun that cycles with light loads and doesn't beat me.
now it's got me thinking.....anyone have a recipe for a 2.75 inch 24gr buckshot or slug load? less pain on my shoulder and more on the rabbits!
Does the 14” model hold 5 + 1, 2.75” shells?
Certainly looks like a nice shotty.

Buckshot for rabbits? Must be big in Otago! We mostly use 3/4Quote:

lots of rabbits here. i could use a .22 and get close or use a 12ga and be a bit farther away.....before i used my E-cat .223 with suppessor and i could be 75 yards away and just pick them off.....with current laws i have to get close and use a red dot.Quote:

Be my dream shotgun if it was stainless
stainless would be impressive but they have a chrome lined bore so rust shouldn't be a problemQuote:

I will not assure you this will sort it but having shot Berettas for over 30 years was taught to shoot about 100 rounds of as heavy a load as i could get to run it in. Supposedly after that you could run just about anything.Quote:

Kiwi S do you have the 14 or 18" version?
ben go with the 14" great for getting in and out of the ute i just use a full choke 300 or so
turkeys already with mine
My confiscated Maverick 88 was 20 inches and I would have liked the Sullun replacement to have been the same but there is no 20 inch, So I have just today added thisQuote:

and now I lack only 1/4 inch off the desired 20 inch...........and it makes it more "evil and black" :>)
IMHO the 14 inch is too stubby to be E & B but I understand carlhurley's comment re the effectiveness of the 14" for bagging turkeys, but as the only turkeys around Wanganui without an "h" are the politicians who have a permanent closed season, I'll just go for the E & B :>)
