BK, if your jeans have deep pockets, you may wish to consider a combination gun. JMar offers a new Krieghoff 20Ga over a 30-06. This neat combination gun is offered with a 30-06 shotgun barrel inset, i.e., you have a 30-06 O/U double rifle and when you wish to pursue birds, remove the 30-06 tube. Detachable scopes are also offered. I wish I could justify this purchase. In pondering this combination - when bird hunting; if one misses with the first barrel, what are the odds of hitting with the second barrel? This combination also assures that ammunition should be available at most country stores.
