As for the barrels, I've always been a proponent of a 2-barrel setup for the one-gun man. Get the fully-rifled barrel with a cantilever scope mount for long-range (75 to 200 yards) and a smoothbore Remchoke barrel. For most situations the modified choke will be just fine, and a rifled tube can be added for close-in slug work. I guess a one barrel setup is possible with the tubes too, if you can figure out how to mount a pistol scope on a ventilated rib barrel with quick-detach rings. "Uhhhhhh......" Barack Obama |

However even the military concedes that most combat will occur within that distance. Sabot rounds would definitely be more effective at longer ranges, but don't discount the utility of plain ol' rifled slugs. And they're much cheaper. "Uhhhhhh......" Barack Obama |

My dad had one installed on his Savage (A5 knockoff) back in the '60s and the utility of being able to change choke settings quickly, got my attention. Plus I consider that profile with the (original, not vent'd) P-C installed somehow "Howitzer-looking". Plus, you can in fact go with rifled slugs since they have a Slug setting. Bottom line is sentimental reasons and with a P-C on a 21" barrel with rifle sights, I'm set for birds, bunnies, big-game, and bad guys. |

You can be out of cartridges and it still does the trick. Also saves having to replace the door or patch a hole in the wall to fix warning shots.
