A tough one to choose a sub-forum for.
Just idle curiosity on my part. I'm going through a GKA (Gun Knowledge Acquisition) phase around all things shotgun at the moment and I am particularly interested in their potential in hunting.
Idly browsing online shops I saw some combination guns and I thought about them, wondering where their strengths lie as they are not cheap. To be clear, I am neither for nor against, just intrigued.
On the one hand, yes, you can have a 12g and a .308 in the same package, but then you have the disadvantages of a single shot in each without the advantage of low weight.
Beyond that it seems it might be handy if you don't know what to expect: perhaps wildfowl, perhaps large game.
So, what am I missing in their appeal?
