For the past fifteen or so years I have been a staunch Handi rifle afficianado. I have owned them in just about every caliber they make and I centered on the 45/70 as my mostest liked one. THEN-last year I picked up a CVA Hunter in 7mm-08 at a local gun shop. The rifle really impressed me with it's ...

Re: New Patrol Shotgun...

I recently purchased a Mossberg Maverick 88 shortie for the vehicle.
A buddy who owns a gun shop showed me that the Maverick holds five shells BUT....it will hold 13 of the Aguila "shortie" shells.That is a lot of fire power to put down at one time if necessary.
