Mine was called an under and over. Two barrels, one took a rifle bullet, the other a shotgun charge. ???What am I missing? cheers, c. I get what you mean now... So the shotgun barrel is a .410, and the rifle is something else. .410 refers to a caliber of shotgun (a little one), not a type of gun. Was the rifle a .22 LR or some other caliber?

Ruger makes a nice .223 ranch rifle The Ruger ranch was originally on my list until prices went crazy and ammo started costing your first born kid. Several friends highly recommended it. They seem to have come back down to relatively normal pricing, though but the ammo is hit and miss (no pun intended) and there's the pending problems with the 5.56 option due to someone thinking they needed to make a handgun that shot the stuff. Because a .223 is not (arguably) suitable as a deer rifle, I'll likely still go with the .270 when/if I need bigger. For now, I am simply glad to hear that the .22 I already had was suitable in most cases. I made the mistake of looking at pricing for the various shells--I hear people in this rural area popping off shot after shot of what sounds like big bore stuff and all I can think is that each bang is a dollar burned in an instant. Well, that's about the extent of my "gun talk" abilities...Mostly just want to thank those who answered once again for helping me feel more settled in the matter.

Thanks for asking the unpleasant question. It's something my BF and I have discussed a lot. I've been told that I should get them used to being touched with a foreign object (such as a long stick) so they don't freak out (assuming they're not injured) when you put the rifle to them. I HATE discussing this, but again - thanks for starting this thread.
