That 10-gauge just humbled my rifled 20
I’ve been hunting with the same single-shot, rifled-barrel 20 gauge for over 25 years. It’s not flashy, but it’s precise—almost like carrying a small centerfire rifle. Years back, my buddy and I were setting up before dawn on a horse farm when another truck pulled in. One guy pulled out a massive 10 gauge, casually loading buckshot and swearing it was deadly to 100 yards. Sure enough, later that morning, we heard two booming shots and found out he’d dropped two deer at nearly that exact distance. I respect the effectiveness, but for me, it’s always been about precision over power. My 20 gauge may take more patience, but it’s never let me down.
What’s been your longest, most memorable shot?
