Those are really nice but a little more than I want to spend for a combo gun that won't get much use.
How is the accuracy and range of this gun?I have a Rossi Youth .22LR/.410, my dad bought it new for me 10 or 11 years ago. I still use it whenever I shoot, it works great and is as simple to use as it gets.
Excuse my ignorance but it being a "youth" model, is it gonna feel tiny in a adults hands?I think tops I've only shot it at 30 yards (.22), and it's dead on accurate. The .410 I've shot up to 25 yards, and as accurate as any other .410 I've shot at that distance. Great little gun, being a youth model, I'm going to pass it down to my nephew (1 year old right now), when he's a little bit older.
Ok that came out wrong, of corse I have missed. The point I was trying to make was I am experienced and know when to take a shot and when to wait. I definitely have a high hit rate. I use to guide for elk in Wyoming for years, I learned alot out there."Hunting 30 years" and got a perfect clean kill on the first shot EVERY time! Your surely well acknowledged in many record books! But never had the opportunity to take multiple turkey, duck, dove, rabbit, hogs?!? Shooting skill has little to do with need for a follow up shot in hunting. If you missed your target the first time, wild game is usually smart enough to be GONE before you reload. But a fast second shot could well net you a second prize (2 ducks taste better than 1)! I'd say give pistol hunting a try. Anybody I've known to do it never wanted to carry a long rifle in the field again. But given the option of carrying a shotgun with a pistol in a holster is something I've done regularly in squirrel season because the odds of seeing a grouse, duck, or other legal game the .22 is less than ideal for. I just can't see any possible benefit in carrying a heavier, slower swinging single weapon. But to each their own. If just looking for an added challenge, crossbows could be fun to!
When you were a kid? Heck. you still are a "kid". At 22 you are the same age as my oldest grandson. :grin:This one does (I'm pretty small, at 5' 3" on a good day), they of course come in regular "adult" models. I was only 10 when I was given this (checked the receipt, my dad bought it in 2001), and I was a tiny little kid. I can still shoot it just fine, but a larger adult may find it a little awkward to shoot. The small size does appeal to me though, broken down it fits into a backpack without protruding.
