My first shotgun. Do not remember the brand. 20 ga bolt action with a detachable magazine.
Adjustable screw choke. Christmas present from my folks 50 years ago.
I either have or have shot all 3 of those. NX8 4 x 32 is my favorite of them. That being said I shot a buddies Zeiss on his 300 win mag. My next scope purchase will be the Zeiss.
I moved 100+ guns 1600 miles from NM to Idaho when I moved.
Do not trust movers.
Take them yourself.
Rent a RV to stay in while you go ahead of your family.
Stay at a nice RV park and you will have no issues.
