If you get an Eagle in .357, it's going to be one of the easiest guns ever made to use due to the massive weight eating the recoil. I'd tend to lean more towards the Sig over the Glock, and the Walther you can't go wrong. Just make sure you get the groovy Walther laser for it, because it looks wicked cool!

 

Wicked..... You New Englanders crack me up. lol I personally have always been a revolver guy. Autos are nice and they their advantages like any other weapon, but they just don't do it for me.

 

I quail/dove and duck hunt a good deal and while many enthusiasts would own guns for each, I have found my Browning 12Ga Pump to be excellent. For skeet and clays, a pump causes you to think before firing your second shot. Many new to clays or skeet will fire immediately if they miss their first target when using an semi-automatic shotgun. The other thing to remember is to get a gun with interchangeable chokes, like the 870 and the BPS. There is a skeet choke for these and using it will improve your ability significantly. You can buy a decent shotgun between 500 and 800 bucks that will be simple (not many parts) and reliable. I would also suggest a slightly used route if you are looking to save. I would rarely suggest that with handguns, but shotguns are much more durable and accuracy is not much more that your ability and timing.

 

Thanks all for the advice, I will let you know what I end up getting and how it shoots.

Cheers!

 

WOOT!!!!

Finally found my replacement stock for my M1A1 - it's completley legal in California and it is totally cool!

Not getting the mono-pod in the *** end - and the color scheme will be titanium gray with swat black furniture.

 

think I'll pass on the scope too... lol... US Optics SN-3 - $2500!

 

i want that gun so bad. and that scope is one mean ****

 

yeah - I already have the Springfield M1A1 Scout with a standard stock. Been looking for a better stock but everything I found that looked cool was not legal in CA.

This is going to run about $900 - it will have to wait until after Christmas - plus I'm doing some remodeling of the home atm... so money's a tad tight.

But I will get that stock - it sure is sweet.

 

Yeah, you don't need that scope, anyway. You can get one on eBay that looks just like it but only cost's $20. You're only paying for a name, right?

That is a pretty nice looking stock, I've never been much of a rifleman, but I'd hit that. I'm building my Saiga-12 right now so when it's all done, I'll throw up some pics. Pistol grip conversion ftw.

 

yeah, well you go cheap you get cheap - a friend bought a scope off ebay - a 10-40x50 if I remember. He has a 7mm he uses for hunting. First time he used it it fogged up - then it was worthless with moisture inside - paid like $90 for it and it was waste of money.

On my .22 I have simple Nikon on it - paid $120 - and it works great. But I want something with a good zoom/parallax adjustments so that's going to cost. lol...

May just go with a higher end Nikon. Walmart sells them for 15/20% less than the gun shops. So I'll look there first.
