[quote=shortactionsmoker]They're shipping some. We have a little on the shelf and I get some on allocation occasionally. We have the CCI blue capsule stuff stocked to the gills.
I'll try to get my hands on a bunch before the guns come in. I'll work a deal out direct or through distribution. [/quote
CCI blue capsule don't shoot well out of a smooth bore they were made for rifled barrels, you want to use the crimped over shot shells. Shot some CCI out of my smooth bore and sometimes they act like a slug. Shooting the CCI out of the rifled barrel breaks the capsule.

They do have an ambidextrous twist...

I have zero use for one preferring a handgun for such needs. Nice to see them being made for those interested.

What model savage? Or what model does it most resemble?
Is there a useable weblink, not face book, on this?

It's on a MKII action. As I stated in the first post, I was out of town when I gave them the PO. I won't have the act details until this week sometime.
I'll post exact details once I have the specifics. We talked about several options. I gave them a PO for my place in line...
I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

I've been wanting one for a LONG time. I have enough ratshot to eliminate every carpenter bee in 2 counties.

And 22 Magnum ratshot is might impressive. I always liked the CCI 22MAG ratshot. Have not seen any for sale in years.

I had an 80 year old neighbor, still working a giant garden, what wanted me to help him find a smooth bore 22 in 1998.
Since then I have spent hundreds of hours in gun shows and pawn shops and never seen one. Or did not know it was a smooth bore. I have seen them online for sale. I have seen them in gun value books.
But they are rare. A Bud's got a Remington 121 pump with Routlidge barrel that I need to talk him out of ...
