Looking at getting a new toy.

I've got an old shotgun that is a 2+1 that I'm thinking of updating to something along the line of a mossberg 500 combo with the 18" and 28" barrel. Kind of serves the hunting and home defense roll plus holds more shells.

Other thing I'm looking at is a ruger 10/22 or some type of "tactical" .22 and stock up on .22 shells. .22 I have right now is a cheap marlin with a 10 rd mag. If you were going to do one of the two, what would you do?

Poll says self defense, meant home defense...

 

[Dukester]

The 10/22 is good for more trips to the range.

 

[Jeff405]

Get both. Each kinda serve a different purpose to me. Home defense, and fun plinker.

 

[dennishoddy]

I'd vote for both.

.."tactical" .22..

Somehow that seems like an oxymoron.

 

[white92coupe]

Home defense now, and then save up for a .22 to buy later.

 

[furlong222]

for close range hunting or HD a 12ga can do most anything that needs doin....should be your 1st aquisition

 

[MrShooter]

Shotgun for sure. 12ga ammo cheap too! plus ya can take it out to play some games such as trap or sporting clays. I love shooting sporting clays at quail ridge.

I'll swim upstream on this one. You already have the 12 gauge, buy the 10/22. Then watch the web sites for the parts for the mods you want to make on the shotgun. If you don't get them or scare them off with 3 12 gauge shells and you don't have time to re-load, I don't know if more is better.
