Ted is right, of course. A fine bird gun and then a good deer rifle is the far-better (more practical) option here. It's certainly not a "need" thing for me, but... a firearm that could do both (and very well) would indeed be "damned ingenious" as Logopus puts it, and the rare occasion where it would be useful would be no-less fun.

Just knowing that Dave-in Maine's drilling even exists makes me interested in trying something like that out. Yet another variation on the theme, which is being out and about in good country with a fine gun in hand.
