[QUOTE="CleanShot, post: 880417, member: 70364"] Thanks again all. For a newbie to hunting and guns like myself all these things are overwhelming. So much to learn about.... I'm mainly hunting whitetails in NJ so I can't see my shots being much further than 50-100 yards. However since completely looking a specialized guns for the job can quickly run up a fortune I don't want to just get something for that application. For example, I might consider hunting hogs or bear in the near term. Even the 220 can quickly ring up a bill of close to grand when all is said and done, ie slug gun, base mount, scope, and I'm guessing possible gunsmith and ammo costs to zero it in. I'd rather build up my inventory than go all out upfront. Plus the wife is much more accepting of the boil the frog method than suddenly seeing a safe full of guns. :) [/QUOTE]
