I've always loved my Grandpa's old 10ga crack barrel. It has a long arse barrel, like 36" or so (total gun length is roughly equivalent to the length of a current shotgun with a 28" barrel)

It is an old Harrington and Richardson model 176, 3-1/2" chamber with a full choke barrel

I dont have actual pictures but this is a similar gun




He's killed a deer with it and I can not wait to turkey hunt with this gun!

10ga, solid stock. meh, i'd shoot it once just to say i did. i'd rather keep my collar bone and shoulder in tact.
