Rifled 10 Gauge
« on: November 15, 2010, 11:20:16 AM »
Somewhere on the net I found a reference that NEF made a rifled 10 gauge slug gun for a short while.  Has anyone actually seen one of these or know where I may find one.  I already have a rifled 12 and a smoothbore 10. 

Thanks

The 12ga Ultra Slug Hunter uses a 10ga platform, different frame and barrel diameter than the other shotguns.

Supposdly NEF made a 10 gauge tracker slug gun in 1994.  i am guessing it was discontinued.  not many 10 gauge slug hunters out there.  I will keep searching.

There's no 63b barrel listed, there is a 638 which is a standard 10ga smoothie.

I guess what I am trying to say is it is no longer available and has not been since 1994.  I am well aware of what I can get from NEF directly.  Hell I even talked to them on the phone.  I was just hoping one of the NEF junkies just might know where to find one.

Place an ad in the Want to Buy H&R Classified forum, that's what they're for, posting it here is not allowed.  ;)

I didnt even know there were/are 10ga. slugs available.........are they in 3" or 3 1/2"?
I do know there are INDUSTRIAL 8ga.(have one sample) though, just no idea what they shoot them in.

Federal and Nitro make 10ga foster style slugs and they are 3 1/2". You can find 8 ga guns on gunbroker but I don't know where you could use them for anything but expensive toys

I'd much rather be remembered for being a great shot than having the most expensive gun

They even made 4ga. for dangerous game, all certainly way out of my price range!
The 8ga. shell looks impressive in a shotshell lineup, makes the 10ga. look a little puny!
I would guess those 3 1/2", 10ga. slug loads would have a recoil impulse much like an big African rifle. Maybe kind of a less expensive way to 'get the feel of one', but I fear my chiropractor would be the only one to benifit of me firing it.
