Thanks! He’s basically accepted he’s going to get taken on it as a trade in. Just sucks how Sig has handled this. $600 gun, almost $100 for each holster and I think mags were each $50 new.
If you look hard enough at the used rack at gunshops and pawn shops you should be able to find a good used shotgun to get you started that will last a long while. Finish might be a bit rough but most should work just fine. Lots of good suggestions here already in the various pump shotguns on the...
I look forward to your hunt write ups every year. This one, I didn’t want to end but I’m glad it ended with a great ram for you and a great story for us all to enjoy. Thanks for posting here! Congrats on the whole adventure!
I always thought that a Ruger Charger with a pistol brace or SBR, the right load, and a can on it would make such a fun and compact squirrel rifle. The takedowns are tempting!

I like the hard/rubber smooth grip better than the soft finger groove versions. The Match Champion and Lipsey half-lugs are even better yet!
Fair enough! you need a Wingmaster! My Express has been my only shotgun for 99% of what I’ve done with a shotgun, bought it when I was 14 or 15, and used it around our family’s dairy on thousands of trash birds as well as all my hunting too. Hard to beat an 870 and I hope there’s no finish left...
I definitely don’t have the whole chukar thing figured out as @NR_Hunter can attest too, from his last trip out, but I hunt with a friend who has some decent dogs. I don’t see how you could do it without dogs.
That’s my only regret with this one from 20-odd years ago. Wish I had bought a lightly used Wingmaster years ago instead of this Express that was new at the time. I’ve made up my mind that both of my kids will get a 20ga Wingmaster for their first shotgun after a youth model 870 Express. If...
Stubbornness around heavy guns and chukars is a mental disorder. There are too many scars and memories on my 12Ga 870 Express to prevent more from being added by leaving it home.
