In reply to the discussion: Can anyone provide a reason for more than 3 rounds? [View all]Major Nikon
(36,818 posts)21. I have no issues with that
I shot skeet for many years and may again someday. I still have my Remington 3200 barrel set in the gun safe and my reloader in the garage. I'm not against the concept of owning guns, but I just don't buy the self defense argument for guns. I recognize that owning a gun makes me less safe, not more safe. If someone is truly that concerned about keeping themselves and their family safe, they shouldn't own a gun. There are far more effective ways to do it that aren't counterproductive.

If you manage to drill one, do you think the other 3 are going to stick around for the reload?

That thing would weigh a ton loaded. We have a 3 round limit in Ohio for deer n/t

Because it's not enough for pretty much any self-defense scenario that I can think of.

From that pic, you can't tell what model Mini 14 that is, or even if it is a mini 14 for sure.

My bad, that is a 77, however Mini 14 was made with a bolt action for the UK market.
