need some advice or just some discussion and opinions on a few things:

1) Sold my 12 G awhile back and will look to add one one of these days. Looking for a replacement for a general bird gun that i can have a slug barrel for and probably will look for a short barrel too for home defense setup. Just looking to do it all in the same gun. I could probably get just what i'm looking for in one of those Mossberg 500 kits. Pistol grip is fine but not a must.
I just never have used Mossberg. Dependable gun? I've had mostly Rem 870 express and also wanted opinions on the Remington 887 nitromag and if anyone has one and likes it.

2) Ruger mini 14 and 30 is something i am looking into getting one possibly. I've got two coyote guns already in .22-250 and .243 cal all decked out and ready for sniping yotes and varmint. I'm comparring the 14 and 30 to a lesser AR 15 if you will. Those kinds of capablities along with a nice handy ranch gun to have in the truck too. Something along the lines of a ranch rifle chambered in one of the Winchester SSM's has always intriged me too. Just don't know if those are only bolt action and not magazine yet or not.

3) Handgun. not looking for C Carry yet. Just shooting and home defense. If a revolver i'm looking .357 because of the ability to shoot .38 spec for a cheap plinking round. I got no problem going .44 either just looking price for ammo too. If i get into a pistol instead it's between .45 ACP , 10MM first and would consider .40 cal and 9 mm too. Big thing is pricing for the ammo because other than buying the rifle loads of .22-250 and .243 i don't price the rest though of course i know .223 is the cheapest and most available. Just wanted imput on avail and cost of the revolver and pistol rd.s listed and some opinions that way. I've shot a few just never owned any handgun other than a .22 so any chatter and input would be great fellas. I'll check back in later.

Thanks in advance
