With you being from WI, I also vote for a Henry. They are in Rice Lake I believe. Give them all call and since it’s for a volunteer FD maybe they will give you a deal? Franchi O/U would also be reasonable for grouse, and clay sports.
I have a Fierce Fury in 300 WM. Purchased 2/2016 and have yet to put a round down the tube. Mounted a base, rings and glass and will leave the base in place, but keeping the rings and optics, $1800.00. PM me with any questions.
