Don't know anything about centerfire rifles so here goes. Was wondering about a multi target longer than handgun range home defense rifle. Caliber, action etc, don't want a hi$ gun as it will just be an in house gun, have a 357 handgun and was wondering about one in that caliber. Don't know the cost of ammo or what you can find to even buy, any thoughts? Move if needed.
I would rather have a home defense pump shotgun than a rifle......and I never cared for rifles that shoot handgun cartridges....If you get a rifle get one that shoots a rifle cartridge....just my thoughts
If you are looking for a rifle to match the caliber pistol you have check out the Winchester model 94 in .357. Just read up on it is a sweet looking little gun can also shoot 38 special for target and plinking
Nothing wrong with a rifle that shoots handgun rounds just kinda pricey or crappy one. A 20 auto or pump with reduced recoil buttshot will do nicely and the Mrs can handle it just fine. Open bore and ya don't even have to do much aiming!!!:biggrin
That would go good with Steves western style pistols too.....and his Stetson hatQuote:

Put the rite choke in the shotgun and it will reach plenty for, better than 50 yards all day long.
Get some of those home defense rounds that have a slug and 3 buckshot. I would alternate these every other round with #4's.
Get a 20ga with a rifeled barrel, buckshot wont hurt it and with slugs it's good for over 100yds.
shotguns are o.k. inside. problem is you can have multiple targets at various ranges outside. A standard M-4 is hard to beat. What ever you decide on, Mount a usable light on it, and practice with it. Think of the effective range of each. A carbine is a better choice, if you learn how to use it. The government spent millions of dollars perfecting one. It works. If you want cheaper.. get an AK=47. It works also. Ask our troops...KS-10
Multiple targets at various ranges outside is what I have in mind. Will be getting a shotgun too I think, have a few revolvers now.Quote:

300 blackout, hit em out to 200, suppressor, short barrel rifle stamp and can mow em down with a 160 grain bullet... Haha but for home defense, I don't wanna shoot through walls into other rooms, load this shotgun with 3 buckshot, 4 slugs. A repeating rifle in 9mm, 357 or 44 mag isn't a gun I want to shoot any further than a 12 gauge slug... I have this gun by my bed in the 12 gauge model. Plus if they're in the yard and not posing an immediate threat, better not shoot. Invite em inside first.

Winchester lever action 30-30. I kinda like the Kel-Tec and Hipoint carbines in 40 cal. Not expensive and fun to shoot. I have one of each of them and prefer the Kel-Tec, since it accepts my Glock magazines.
