Barrel question
« on: March 09, 2005, 01:01:42 PM »
Can a shotgun barrel be mounted to a Centerfire Rifle?  And if so, do the shotgun barrels have interchangable chokes tubes i.e. turkey choke availability?  I would like to get 12ga barrel for my handi if it is possuble.

Yes, centerfire rifle actions can have shotgun barrels fitted to them. You can buy either fixed choke or screw in choke tube barrels, your choice. I have a 24" 12 gauge barrel with screw in chokes tubes and have a turkey choke tube as well as others...<><.... :grin:

Shotgun barrels
« Reply #2 on: March 09, 2005, 02:00:23 PM »
Thanks for the reply.  How heavy are those shotgun barrels?  They look a little on the heavy side.  Let me explain what I am trying to do.  A couple of times a year I go hunting for predators in the back country of the Hoosier National Forest.  I am wanting to get pretty deep into it.  Some of the terrain I have come across is best suited for scatter guns and other areas are best suited for long guns.  I have looked into combo guns and quite frankly I do not like the accuracy reports, the POI shifts in the optics with the kick of the scattergun, and the overall price of them ($550 and up).  I would like to be able to put the scattergun barrel in my pack and be able to switch out when situation and terrain dictates what tactics I use as far as shotgun vs. rifle.

Does the 12ga 24" turkey barrel come with iron sights or is just drilled and tapped for scope mounts?

Neither it has a bead but sights can be added I am thinking of putting a set on my 12ga turkey, I have a set off of a 45-70 that I am going to accra glass on, should hold up well, Have not decided on putting a williams shorty ramp & a fire sight on it or not, too many decisions. Good luck in the woods & be safe :D
