The guy from Maine with those high end shotguns was cool to see his guns, they were expensive. one was 20 g's
You'll like the ruger. Lot of fun to shoot and easy on the wallet. I've got an older ruger MK II with the bull barrel. It has a red dot on it which is kind of cool. They can be had for around 40 bux.

On the red dot
my dad tells me to spend some dough on a more expensive one

I looked at cabelas and it is confusing and they can be real expensive
I was thinking 50 bucks would get me a decent one, that's what my brother told me, but my dad seems to think I need to get one over 100
I'll wait a little while on that I guess. I have shot theirs with them and I like using it.

Mac, ya that's about the same gun. I got the one with the grip like the 1911 45, it seems to fit my giant hand better. I'm sure I'll like it.
It goes well with my ruger 10/22
I still have 800 rounds from back in the days I used to get it at Kmart $1.97 for 100 CCi's

I put a cheap one on it and it is fine. As far as spending more.... It's only a 22 and recoil is minimal. I'd like to have a halo sight on it but couldn't justify the money at the time. I'll let ya borrow it if you want to try it.

If you are going to shoot competition and want to cut X rings then spend the extra money. But just for plinking red dots are fine.

Bruce you should check out the gun room at Addeville Game Farm in RI. I have seen shotguns in there for over $100,000.00
