Bolt action shotguns

[gold40]

When I turned 13 my Dad bought a Mossberg 16 gauge bolt action shotgun for my birthday. Dad thought semi-autos were too dangerous for teenagers, and was probably right in my case.

I've used it now for 44 years, and it is still in great condition.

Like most of you, I now own many other more expensive guns, but still treasure this first one. With it, I have taken geese, ducks, doves, squirrels, rabbits, pheasants, quail, and crows. Now, I try to take it squirrel hunting at least once a year, and sometime still use it on pheasants.
