Thankyou Daryl.

But is it not true that a slug etc will give a much harder kick when fired than say 00 buckshot or other shot loads? why is this anyway?

This seems to be the general opinion,though i have never been permitted to use slugs before now,and have no particular interest in doing so.

So,basically, what physical differences would i find between the 8 gauge paradox rifle,and the 8 gauge shotgun? barrel length,obviously....weight though? perhaps.......but what of strength? would the lock be heavier-duty on the rifle? both are always jones underlever be they doubles or singles. so it appears. would strengths be equal afterall? or,is the paradox put together in an altogether different manner?

Thanks and cheerio.......
