Got "Boared" so hence another Boar Basher !
This is a Browning A-Bolt Stalker 12ga 3" Rifled Barrel Slug Gun...Barrel was shortened to 18" and threw one of Doug's Burris Euro 4's on it,a 30mm 1.5-6×42 Illuminated Scope with really great glass and German#4! Came out Looking like a African Express with the Fat Barrel and Drop Mag...It can push Custom 1043 Hard Cast "projectiles"at 1100 fps and punch Y'uuge Holes though both sides of anything( at the Linebaugh Seminars this load beat everything incl the African stuff) or Dixies TriBall loads of 3)60cal 300 gr hard cast balls that group 8" together at 40yds!
Whatcha think for a $1200 rig?!

I like it.

It looks like fun. I'll keep an eye out for an Abolt shotgun...you don't see many of them around anymore

They're back in production now.

It was stopped again as far as I know....

Here is another Browning Boar Basher but this one will take out the entire group with 8 fast shots of Devastation !

Savage has some nice 3"-chambered bolt guns for 12ga and 20ga.
The latter is good for a ".615 Express."
Don't forget the Mossberg Ultimag pump with 3.5" chamber in 12ga, and fully rifled barrel.
I'd call that the ".730 Express" to distinguish it from the 3" version.
I have 1400-grain slugs for the .730 Express,
works well in plastic hulls,
and 900-grainers for the .615 Express.

Rip ...

Those look rather lively. How does that Browning Silver action do with the heavy projectiles? Any cycling issues?

Its unfired ..so far...

Who did the work to the abolt?

Where did the projectiles come from?

I love it!!

Recoil out of the Abolt...how bad is it? I am guessing these reloads are quite a bit hotter than a factory 12ga slug

Using brass cases another 200f/s could be gained, at same pressures, I suppose.

That thing looks like it kills at both ends.

Interesting. I generally don't like the German #4 but it'd be fine for a shotgun. As far as recoil, that can all be controlled with loads. Many variables for a shotgun. Slugs, sabot, buckshot.

What does the recoil compare to with those really heavy slugs?

Obviously the action is front-locking strong - but is the barrel reinforce much thicker than in other shotguns?

As a kid I shot ordinary rifled slugs out of my father's Mossberg bolt-action. It had what appeared to be a fat chamber reinforce but was not heavy. I wonder if its one-lug lock-up would withstand your loads.

What about the sxs?Is there anyone making the 727 Express with them?

That looks like a barrel of fun. I'd be skedaddling from your neck o' the woods if I were a smart hog ...

The link to the knives no longer works. Are these friends of yours?

Damn... get unbusy!
I am glad to find out that you love knives so much. I’m not in the market right now, but I will keep you in mind

I think I will leave the pigs alone rather than shoot those babies.

Cool though.
