Hey guys,
I am looking to find a used but working cheap 12 ga break action. I keep looking on the EE but havent found anything yet. I want it as a project gun to then take out for small game this year (rabbit, squirrel, etc...) I looked on gunbroker but didnt see anything and I checked my local gun shops as well. I could really care less if it is scratched or the wood is messy. It just needs to function. $$ is tight so the cheaper the better. I would appreciate the help. I want to get it soon, I am trying to get a local kid something to go out with. His dad and I are friends and go hunting together but they dont have enough to get him a gun so I thought I would try to help. So anything in SE WI would be cool. I could travel a bit too if a shop has one somewhere. Thanks |

I talked with my friend and he was telling me about what he wanted to save up and get his son. It is pretty much a break action 12 ga. So I thought I woul try that.
His son is a stick and is only 11. I think he wants something simple, light, and easy to use. Mainly becasue he can barely scrape by and wanted some thing cheap. I will check out the double barrels, I didnt think of that. |

A 12 gauge is probably going to knock this shit out of him and he won't have any fun, and a 20ga is plenty for rabbits/squirrel etc. |

Break open 12ga on the cheap to me means hard kicking H&R Pardner single shot. Not a good choice. Any pump 20ga is better, way better. |

They had some nice NIB blue or pink laminate wood stocked 20 gauge 870s at the Gander Mt in Appleton for $309 a piece.
Maybe too much $ but it will pay off in the end with it's durability and versatility. I know I got rid of my $50 break open as I am sure most of us did. Good luck with the search. V OUT |

I don't know who made it but the best small game gun I've used is my dads its a break action over under 20ga on top 22lr on the bottom or the other way around can't remember its been awhile. Had a switch in the hammer to switch the barrel. One of these days I'll go look at the model. But it was great for rabbits and squirels Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |
