Single shot + shotgun vs drilling.
24/10/13 09:57 AM

Hello all,

First post here. However, I have been lurking these forums for about 6 months now.

I’ve sold off all of my firearms primarily because I want to get down to 2-3 “higher quality” yet functional firearms. I pretty much hunt exclusively for meat (not that I am above population control) and I have for a long time wanted to get into a really nice single shot stalking rifle in the Kipplauf tradition. I’ve settled on either 6.5x57R or 7x57R shooting long heavy bullets with high SD. I would use this for 80% of my big game needs (open prairie, alpine terrain, foothills, etc.).

My other firearm will be a 16 gauge side-by-side shotgun. This will be my bird and small game gun.

The reason for this post, however, is that I am wondering if I need a 3rd firearm that will be used exclusively for close quarters/heavy bush terrain with shots less than 100 yards. This will be for driven wild boar, bison, bear and northern moose thus quick follow up shots are crucial. I am debating between two options, which I am hoping the fine folks here could provide their own insights and advice regarding my decision.

1) I acquire a single shot break action, a double barrel shotgun plus a 45-70 lever action for the latter style of hunting
2) I acquire a single shot break action and a double barrel shotgun and use brenneke smoothbore slugs in the shotgun for close quarter/bush gun when needed

Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions?
