In 1988 I bought a nice rural PA 60-acre farm. I retired in 1996 and happily reside on my acreage. I enjoy my resident deer, bear, coyotes and other critters. I have a Polaris Ranger for daily patrols and found out early on a .45 M1911A1 is not my best choice for a farm gun. My best farm gun is not a shotgun; it is BOTH a rifle and shotgun.
My wife gifted me a Savage .22 Magnum over a 20 gauge shotgun arm at Christmas in 1996. It is the best of both worlds for me. I carry it daily and have the very best of both worlds. The .22 Magnum reaches out and the 20 gauge handles aerial targets with no concern downrange.
I have whacked coyotes, porkys, skunks and rattlers without a hiccup to continue enjoying my farm. We do camp out in our West Woods lean-to often and the Savage and loyal hound keep the campsite just great.
Get a Savage O/U for a great camp gun.
