ORNERY OAF Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Just picked her up and man is she beautiful! Gotta lop the barrel down to 22in(maybe,probably)....32inches now....kinda heavy,lol...gonna be great with 10g palerider loads... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORNERY OAF Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 I've used shorter barrels, but is 22 a decent length? seems decently in the middle, 32in is too long, I don't hunt and I'm not a real collector so whacking down the barrel doesn't bother me.

Sidekick Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 I think 26" to 28" would be the sweet spot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chantry Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 (edited) 10 gauge shotguns are fun! 120 grs of 1F, 1 1/2 ounces of shot and if the posse seems sleepy, pull both triggers!! Edited March 18 by Chantry 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bark is much worse than the bite. Between the weight of the gun, about 12 pounds and the slower recoil impulse of black powder, it more of a very firm shove. The concussion isn't like anything else I've encountered and the best place for the RO is directly behind the shooter. It's even more fun if you shoot the 10 from inside a building or enclosed space. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was cut to 20" when I got it. When I got home I'm looking at the gun thinking the barrels were less than 18" and uh oh.. I think I measured it 2 or 3 times before I believed the tape measure over my eyes. Even now every once in a while I forgot just how big the gun is compared to a 12 gauge.
