Remington have announced a very cool looking new sabot slug called the “AccuTip Bonded Sabot Slug”

New for 2008 Weatherby’s Newest Side-by-Side Shotgun: Orion D’Italia SBS:

Weatherby will be offering improved version of the Athena and Orion Over/Under Shotguns during 2008.

For most hunters, the pump shotgun served as their introduction to wingshooting. Easy-to-use, no-nonsense design, dependable in the field, the pump is generally regarded as the “4×4” of field guns. Our new line of PA-08 pump shotguns carries that tradition forward in typical Weatherby function and style. Designed on a similar frame as our popular semi-automatics, the Turkish-made PA-08 features a single action bar design that is straightforward, overbuilt and made for round after round of high volume action. Choose from four different models, including wood, synthetic and camo options.

The turkey gun:

As far as I can see the action is identical to the “Speed Pump Defender” and is a hunting version of the shotgun ie. longer barrel.

Seems Winchester Arms wants to get into the personal protection market!

Answer…

The sidewinder is an interesting thing. It’s a magazine feed conversion kit available for the Mossberg 500 and 590; along with a system of six round box, or 10 round drum magazines. This allows for rapid reload, and rapid changes of ammunition type, which I appreciate; as well as greater magazine capacity in the shortest possible barrel length (no long mag tube extensions).

mike123456 posted high-res photos of his beautiful custom Tromix Saiga-12 shotguns. I love the drum magazine!

How far would you go to enjoy 12 gauge shot gunning without disturbing the neighbors?

Hell in a Handbasket has an interesting post about the use of shotguns in war.
