[QUOTE="Kmccord, post: 1815216, member: 99039"] I will say, if you have never owned a shotgun or have hunted Ducks before, purchasing a shotgun with a 3.5" chamber and you load that shotgun with #2 3.5" Magnum, after three shots at a passing duck, especially in a pump action, you will have the hell kicked out of you. Hope you don't have false teeth, you would be looking for them in the water. :).
