The OSUT #228...Snow Mageddon 2022

Yeah it is. All over freaking visitation, not even custody. I really thought he was a good guy at first. Now? Screw him.

That's a pretty move for sure.
I certainly don't understand the thinking of trying to cut out grandparents that are wanting to be involved, hell I wish my parents would get involved with the kids.

Yeah, the Mossbergs are shooters, but this next one is going to longe range use. 200m silhouette style shoots. The Mossbergs are on par with my old Marlins, and just needing a little more precision from it.

Then you can go with heavier barrels!



Just kidding. I get it...

 

[Jaybird1980]

What model is that one in the bottom picture?

Don't overlook old Mossbergs! IMHO of course...

Dad had a 20ga bolt action Mossberg with the polychoke.

I don't get it either Jay.

Dad had a 39A that he was very fond of.

What model is that one in the bottom picture?

Model 44 U.S.. The ones marked U.S. Property were former military training rifles. This one doesn't have that marking. I was introduced to them when I was in Boy Scouts and used one to get my Rifle and Shotgun merit badge (there was no shotgun shooting involved though). My very first 22 was one of these that I bought for 50 bucks back in the early 70's!

Brother-in-law loaned me his 16 gauge bolt action/polychoke gun when I was a kid to hunt rabbits with. My own first shotgun was a .410 Mossberg bolt action, full choke. Great little squirrel gun.

I guess I'm a Mossberg fanboi...

I've had two 930's

 

[Expat]

I (nor my Dad) ever had a bolt action shot gun.

We were a Remington family.

I could get 3 shots off at a rabbit with that 16 gauge. Couple of times I needed that 3rd shot!

I've seen one a lot like it, but it had a longer barrel. I shouldn't have passed on it, but I did.
It was a model 144 I believe. I still wish I would have got that one.

 

[Jaybird1980]

We had a Mossberg bolt 410 with the choke on the barrel. I'm not sure who ended up with it now.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

I also got my first and only quail with the 16 gauge. We were hunting rabbits along some railroad tracks up near Lebanon (I think) and flushed a covey. I didn't even get it all the way up to my shoulder. Just got the stock up under my armpit and fired into the covey and happened to hit one. Mom cooked it for me and it was delicious! I'd love to hunt quail again but they've gotten kinda scarce so I've heard.

Did it look like this? That's the kind I had. Model 183D-A (I think). Looked like this one anyhow...

Yeah, with the 2 round detachable magazine.

Those look nice!

Yep that's it.
