“Tag: Semi-Auto”

Once upon a time, there was only one place to go if you wanted a shotgun with an inertia-driven action. Not anymore. Meet the new Stevens S1200.

When it comes to portable semi-auto pistols for hunting, there’s only one real factory standard cartridge choice: the 10mm auto. Let's take a look at the top five 10mm semi-autos currently on the market.

The new Savage A17 uses a delayed blowback action. A small bar in the top of the bolt slides up to fit into a slot in the receiver when the bolt is closed, locking the action. The bar cams back down upon firing to release the bolt and allow the action to cycle, but it delays the action from opening until pressure has dropped to a manageable level.

The new Stoeger M3020 is the company's first 20-gauge semi-automatic addition to its line of quality, affordable shotguns for hunters and shooters.

Because semis use gases to cycle the action, some velocity is lost.

Think the national news media reports the truth? Think again. For weeks now, gun-control advocates have claimed data they have collected indicate a majority of NRA members support an assault-weapon ban.

With its camo finish and 3 1/2-inch chamber, the Maxus is lightweight, easy to handle and feels right at home in upland fields.

For fun, training and pinching pennies.
