  1. You do realise "SOLID shot" from a rifled barrel,will drop most things on earth? I used solids on Boars in Australia and they drop 120kg boars were they stand.They are perfect for Big game.My browning A-bolt 12G slug gun is a beaut!Its not the wrong tool mate its a great piece of kit able to shoot to 100 meters and destroy what it hits.Happy hunting mate

    Firstly, I am not your 'Bud'. Despite being British, I do know about firearms and shotguns thank you.
    I didn't mention anything about shooting deer with 'Shot' I just said that you don't need a scope with a shotgun. Why on earth are you using a solid shot when shooting game when you should really be using a rifle. Wrong tool for the job there 'PAL'

  3. not EVERY shotgun is used for close range. dont forget the trap and skeet here in U.S. i will agree that shotguns are used mainly for close combat even out of the U.S., but arguing over a issue that involves hunting in the U.S. in this video defeats your purpose to argue, woof.

  4. Such a big boy you are.

    You yanks have missed the whole idea of the shotgun. I doubt very much that ANYONE outside the US uses a scope on a shotgun.

    Correct, you know nothing about me do you? So you have no right whatsoever to comment on my shoot/hunting and armed forces knowledge.

    Shotguns are for shooting fast moving targets where you need a good field of vision to follow the target. Using a scope reduces that field of vision and so defeats the point of a shotgun in the first place. BOZO

  5. Well, here in the UK, that is what we use a rifle for. the only time I have used a solid shot in a shotgun is to take a door of it's hinges when entering a building. I don't believe that the shotgun slug has sufficient kenitic energy, compared to a rifle round, to do a proper job of killing larger animals cleanly. Unless you are right on top of them in the first place then why not be a little more sporting and use a machette?

  6. Well one if you hunt anything besides birds like deer, or hogs you use slugs which do not spread out its one bullet like a rifle so its nice to be able to see where your hitting. Also when hunters get older its harder to see the pin sights so you can always use a scope to help you see.

  7. why do you need a scope on a shotgun???? the whole point of a shotgun is that you aim at the target and the spread of the SHOT fired from the SHOTGUN spreads out in a SHOT pattern to cover the target.
