Thanks EZ, as a matter of fact I started a thread under Elk hunting as this all started when I decided to do an elk hut in the fall and need a shooter for that trip. I was just about to purchase the Mossberg 100 atr until I read this thread..... I now have been overloaded with information. I am so confused right now it will take a week to sink in. NOTHING but great people and fantastic suggestions...... a lot of which would have taken months for me to pick up on. Please take a look at the thread and let me know what you think.
