Answer 1

Well, a quality shotgun is going to be like a pump Remington, at about 250-350, but you may want to look at a single-shot .410. Many manufacturers, and because it is a shotgun, we arfe not talking about extreme accuracy. Yiou can probably get down to about $75 with a used single-shot. Go to your gun store, and ask for used .410's. You might be surprised...

A 410 and a 20 gauge both send lead bb's at the same speed and the same distance and therefore have the same killing power. The only difference between any shot gun gauge is the number of bb's that are sent down range per shot. If you're aim is true, a 410 is as effective at EVERYTHING as a 12 gauge. That being said, yes the 410 kicks less. My brother had health issues and could no longer handle the kick of a 20 gauge when he was young so he got a 410 single shot. He took down geese on a regular basis with no problem just to give you an idea. What makes a 20 gauge kick harder than a 12 gauge is the action of the gun. A semi-auto 12 gauge uses the recoil of the shot to cycle the action where as a single shot 20 gauge transfers all of the kick right to your shoulder. Add in the fact that virtually all 12 gauges have a recoil pad and many youth 20 gauges don't and you can see how people could perceive the 12 gauge recoil as being less. Bottom line is that a 410 is a great starter shotgun and so is a 20 gauge. For that matter so is a 28 gauge assuming you don't want to shoot slugs. Unless you're shooting trap I suspect that the recoil of any of those won't be too much. Also, if you're just hunting rabbits and squirrels... maybe a 22?

Try looking in like a Cabela's magazine. I go hunting too. I want a air rifle but there like 159$ An air rifle will probably work very well.

Answer 4

How is anyone supposed to take your question seriously? You're looking for a gun to hunt rabbit (on an environmental forum) and a place to purchase a beagle? Try Eastlake, Ohio. Duh....where are you?
Even if I knew, I wouldn't direct you to the sources if I knew them......Well, except you can probably get a beagle or beagle mix at the local pound for about $40.

Answer 5

Guy by the name of E. Fudd had one for sale in the paper. He couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with a 410 either.

For the beagle, check Acme Beagles for Hillbillies.

Answer 6

Make sure you get one that will shoot slugs good for dear hunting . I know allot of people in hear don't agree with hunting but they will go to the market and buy meat and eat it just as you eat your game a dead animal is a dead animal no matter where you get it at . Anyway i have a 410 but its not for sale its an all around weapon . 22 riffle with bird shot is good for rabbit to

Why do people think that shooting a rabbit is worse than putting an electric fence around an organic vegetable garden, thus starving the wonderful creatures to death?
