So I've got this ludicrous thing…
If I'm being honest, I only bought it as I butchered a Saiga Clone shortening the barrel too far and I was unable to open the gas port up enough to get it to reliably cycle low brass. With the can it cycles low brass wonderfully.
Being me, I'm always looking for the next "project". A recent thread about big bore revolvers had me thinking about big bore rifles. Well, one thing I've always been interested in is bolt action 12g shotguns. Especially since savage released the 212. I'm a weirdo, so pumps and semis don't really scratch the itch the same as something quirky like a bolt action 12 gauge would.
Well my noodle is got me thinking that might be a worthy addition now. A bolty big bore, well quasi big bore.
Im looking at either the Turkey model (smooth bore) or just get the rifled model. Not sure, never owned a rifled shotgun before, could be really fun to reload for.
Whether shooting subsonic Gucci ammo or custom reloads to factory 300 grain sabotted slugs, through the salvo it could be quite interesting.
I have ZERO need for the longer barrel, so I'd likely SBS it and bring the barrel back some or cut it to legal 18". Likely would kick like a mule, but what's a big bore without some oomph?
Whats youll thoughts on something like this?
