Re: Classic SxS or O/U
The gun show this last Sunday was kind of a bust. Small show, only (3) side x sides. One LC and two Remington 1900 12 gauges. I did like how the 1900s came up and handled.

I am trying to decide which barrel to buy for my T/C Encore: .204, .223 or .22-250. It will mainly be used for coyotes and jack rabbits. I've heard .204's are a lot of fun.
Can you guys please give me the benefit of your experience on caliber choice?
