Bug Out Survival Shotgun - A Single Shot 20 ga Shotgun for Bugout - Survival - SHTF ?

Just sold 2 12 gauge shotguns because of medical problems bought a 20 gauge has laess recoil plus still have my 410 that i got for christmas 1980 was 16 then still 57 now

This would be nice with a choate style stock or what ever the name is to make it more versatile as the but stock is hollow and is made for storage space to carry things like a fire kit or first aid or both along with barrel inserts to fire other ammo

As for a 20ga being adequate for most field purposes, it's a fact. Small game to deer fold up by the thousands every year to 20 ga guns. Pick your ammo properly, shoot straight, and eat meat. Regularly.

Buy a shotgun... buy a shotgun!

I like the versatility of ammo choices. You can switch between slugs, buckshot, birdshot, or even rubber bullets depending on the situation without unloading

I really like a 20 & 12 gauge.. but ammo availability I'd go 12 gauge.. lot of 12G around.. but yeah I like a 20 .. if you can find it & stock up go 20.
I just wish more of the Single shots had Choke Tubes ..

Prepper up, that place is awesome! I’ve been in there a few times and they always have everything I need.

Great video. All I heard was Kermit the frog 🐸 during this whole video. I can’t unhear it now. 😂

I’ve seen a Pointer single shot advertised and also the Stevens 301. Both seem decent and cheap, anyone have any ideas which one (if there is one) is better quality? I’m assuming both are Chinese made. I’d rather have a NEF or H&R but unless I find a used one somewhere, I am going to have to get one of those. I definitely want an ejector on mine. If I’d known it would be hard to get one I’d kept that old junker I had almost 30 years ago.

Hi. Thanks and I feel that the gun seems so connected to the shooter. Like a minuteman.
Cheers

I still use the Win. M37 I bought in 1964. 12 gauge. But wish I had a 20.

One step up from that is the over/under single shot 20/22mag Savage

Shotguns are the best! Is a 20 gauge enough for bear protection? I don't like that it has no ejector, i think in a dangerous situation , you don't have to collect your empty shells, but shoot and get the H...l out of there!!

There is nothing wrong with a single shot. And there is nothing wrong with a 20ga. A little lighter and a little faster on the move.

Bloody guns. Nope. Bye bye.

I wish the 16g was as popular as the 12 and 20.

I just saw a vedio of how you can shoot 444,45 as well as the shotgun shells and slugs from a 410 single shotgun

I chose the double barrel

I have one with the 22” barrel it came with 5 chokes. I like the full because of the 22” barrels let’s me reach a little further out. I added a fibre optic bead and a slip on recoil pad. I like to use the 3” magnum rounds and I have a bad shoulder. It’s taken many grouse. Fits great in the quad box and back pack. Great video

🤣🤣🤣 why are you wearing a damn chest plate???

.410, shoots .45lc, .44mag. And a bunch more.

Hey Coyote, what's that single point sling attached to the grip of your older, painted 20 Ga? Thanks.

the problem i have is no ammo supply for 410 or 20 gauge. I can find 12 gauge and I sold my mossberg 590 a1 and kept a stevens single shot 12 gauge. I also sold all of my ar style weapons and several high cap semi auto pistols. I sold for several reasons but the biggest is money needed for toe surgeries out of pocket. they are healing! I do have a 5.56 bolt rifle and a 308 bolt rifle along with my lever guns and the obligatory ruger stainless takedown. I still have several revolvers and the old beretta 92 and 1911 should i need a combat sidearm. i have plenty of ammo for these guns but 410 is impossible to finds and 20 gauge is nearly impossible to find in my area.

Great video

You can carry more mini shells than full size 20 gauge rounds. And, a single barrel is perfect for minis

COST:?

I just put an adapter in my 12 guage and can carry .22 ammo

Could you make a video on how you did your paint job on this shotgun ?

A single shot shotgun is not an ideal bug out gun only an idiot who wants to be eaten by a predator would carry it

Agree single shot shotguns are a must for wilderness survival. That being said a 22lr semi auto is better. But that's just my opinion

Although I agree with a shotgun for a survival gun, I disagree with your choice of caliber. I would have opted for the 12ga. The reason I say that is if you have to scrounge for ammo in a SHTF scenario, you're most likely to come across 12ga. cartridges because they are the most popular.
Also, you can convert a 12ga. to a 20 ga. or even a 12ga to a .410ga. using Chaszel shotgun adapters. And you can convert your 12ga. to a rifle using Chaszel shotgun adapters.
Nice video though, I enjoyed it.

Nice review. Agree with the Single shot love. I own many shotguns, grew up with them in the South. I hunt some very rough terrain in the swamps. I got tired of carrying a heavy gun, and started to carry a 12ga 18" barrel with Benilli chokes. Make no mistake, very accurate out to 20-30 yds. Also do not forget that for bugout, you can get so many different INSERTS for just about all gauges, and rimfire, and many centerfire ammo like 9mm,45, etc. Thanks for the review. Love the paint jobs.

My bug out shotgun would be a Ithaca 37 in 20ga it is lightweight and very Rugged and Reliable !!!!!!!

just get a double barrel 12

12 or 20 gauge double barrel hammer gun. Twice as versatile, barrel adapter 3 times as versatile goods video.

I qouldnt say 20g ammo is "significantly" smaller. Smaller, but not by enough margin. Think 22 Long compared to 22 Long rifle.

To me, the benefit to the 20g is less recoil. It loses 1 pellet in a similar 12g 00 buckshot load. But recoil is quite a bit less. But in all other regards, 12 is king for a reason.

I went with the 410 …
Carry more ammo
00 buck
Bird shot
Slugs…

The 12 gauge you can buy inserts to shoot the 20 gauge and all the vacations and most other caliber

Now my 20 GA is a Savage O/U model 24 C 22-LR 20-GA 20 inch barre 5.1/4 lbs ammo in the stock and take down i have carry it starting 1978 truck gun and backpack the kids are trying to get it from me .the kids got me a Stoeger Double Defense 20-GA over under hoping they can get my Savage 24-C .

my bug out gun is ar15. in 556 nato... i do have Stevens 301 single shot 12 g. i may get the 20 g model

How do these handle actually hunting?

Never mentioned the barrel. Is it a fixed choke barrel or does it have choke tubes? As an owner of three SS shotguns (12,16,20) I find it’s more important to have the ability to have tubes than cool paint and a sling. I carry the American tactical Nomad 20 ga when needed and it has choke tubes (uses benelli/beretta) and i paid $99. Never had an issue and it comes with a picatinny rail

You whant a 31/2 inch Magnum 12GA. Because you can use insrts in20GA.,410Ga.,357/38spl.,44msg.,45LC,30-30, & 45/70govt.

Does this gun shoot slugs for deer hunting?

20g - You can use it - smaller people - Teenagers etc can use it. For SHTF you want the maximum utility in terms of people able to use it and the maximum things it can do.

Is this good for Self Defense in Close to medium quarters in SHTF?

I have a twelve gauge version of that turkenelli
I don't mind it at all.

Alot about this video was cringe

I just got one for $52 bucks! The only issue I have found with mine is when you go to engage the trigger guard to break open the weapon. Mine is stiff as hell and you really have to pull back on it. Other then that, it's an awesome weapon and can't wait to mod it.

As soon as I heard you shopped at prepper up, I subscribed. Hello fellow Oregonian!!
Is this gun made in turkey? I just purchased an old army 20 gauge break barrel and it is literally identical to this gun in every way so I’m assuming they’re just purchased from turkey and being re-branded?? How’s it holding up btw? Thanks!
