I have a Mossberg 500 coming that way: drank some bourbon, watched CNN, decided I needed a home defense shotgun.
Since I couldn’t find one, I bought a turkey version with a 20 inch barrel.
You now have a shotgun you can use for Home Defense or Turkey Hunting. What the heck is GunNut going to do with a .270? He has a new house, so no cockroaches, eyes are too old for mosquitoes, and if he misses, it might crack a window

Really, all isn't lost though Gun Nut, it'll probably be a pretty good starter platform for a 280 or 6.5 06
The plan is to shoot it and if it doesn’t shoot it’ll swiftly become something else! I wasn’t even going to shoot it but the original barrel with the matching serial number and proof marks is still on. I owe to the rifle to at least try...

Well we will find out how I did with this purchase today since the UPS truck is headed over with the rifle. UNFORTUNATELY since it's now one of my Fathers Day gifts wife will hang on to it until Sunday Morning.

Go get her some ammo and send her to the range tomorrow........
And have someone else shoot in my new gun FIRST?!?!?!? I don't love ANYBODY that much!
A few years back my daughter (or as I refer to her, Mini-Me) was just about to have her first sip of coffee for the day when her little sister (half-sister from my ex's second husband) asked what coffee tasted like and could she have a sip. My daughter sleepily pushed the cup in her direction and all of a sudden she pulled it back and took a sip. When her little sister asked why she did that she said "You are NOT getting the first sip of the day off my coffee!!!" I love that girl!

Welcome to the dark side, Bro. I've had great luck with factory Federal 130 NBTs on whitetail, and handload 160 Partitions over RL22 at 2850 fps for everything else. You're gonna love this chambering.

Congratulations on the new shotgun

Gun control laws make about as much sense as taking ex-lax to cure a cough.
