Illegal here. And a .30-30 will kill fine at 400 yards.
There's a thought! I hadn't thought of shotgun for close shotsCombination Guns rule!
My most regular hunting (my longest season) is done with a o/u in 12g/6,5x55, we are out for roe, fox, hare even boar
Or it is what I take when just out in the woods for no particular reason
With buck or slugs i am confortable even doing road work For the cops after injured boar /bear struck in traffic. It is like a poor mans double rifle
With a fmj and birdshot it is great for treetopp birds
If you are fancy or rich you have a drilling 12/12/rifle calibre
