Here it is... branching off from what turned out to be an aircraft recognition thread. Have at it. I'll start off with a gun I hope to inherit from my father some day.

That would be correct. However, I'm not entirely sure that's exactly what my father has (but how can I expect you to know that? :)) I do know it's really damn close to that though... he has a Savage lever action 284 Win. Based on loocks, pretty sure it's a Model 99.

Yup, .500 S&W. Kick is not what I expected...a bit stout, but not that much more than a warmed up .44 load.

No. Shotguns have a long history. This is more recent.

Had to hazard a guess, I vaguely recall seeing a setup like that on the history channel or something. Forget what the show was. Don't know what they're called but it's essentially a big cannon that was used in conjunction with decoys to hunt water fowl (mostly ducks if I remember?) before they were banned because you could kill so many in 1 shot.

Am I along the right lines? :)

Yup, exactly. But do you know the name? :icon_tong
