    It is a half an inch bigger though! I will deal with the occasional failure to perform for the extra half inch in length. lol

     

    With the 1250fps stuff it is reliable, the 1145s it is mostly reliable. The loading port is noticably bigger when compared to a 3500. I do agree that the 3000 is the way to go though.

    Working on figuring out what it's worth so I'm trying to get some sort of back ground on it.

     

    That is what makes it cool. Good luck finding magazines for it.

    Slugs will probably eventually break the welds for the hanger, especially if engaged at less than 50 yards. I would use the gong for the slugs

     

    I have the same rifle gong and am completely happy with it for rifle. Has probably almost 1000 hits on one side and is barely marked.

    I am interested in getting a few steel targets for practicing with a pistol at say 10 to 25 yards.

     

    I have found two types of round steel targets: With holes in them so a bolt can be used to attach them to a cap on a post (or using a chain to make them into a gong) and with no holes but a piece of steel welded to the back which slips into a holder on a post.

     

    Is there any advantage of one type over the other?

     

    I would think the flat target without the bolt/chain would be safest as the ones with an exposed bolt/chain could be hit and cause the bullet to ricochet back (besides destroying the bolt/chain).

     

    I would be interested in hearing any thoughts on this.

    Thanks.

    Steel with a hole in it is meant to be mounted with a bolt and tension spring to an end cap atop a 2x4. This will ring like a bell if set up this way.

     

    The steel with a mounting hook will ring slightly but also have a loud smack in most cases.

     

    Steel type and size is a difference. The top mounted plate is reversible and should last longer but I have GT target static mount plates that have thousands of rounds on them with little wear.

     

    Either will work great for pistol but don't depend on the steel to confirm the hit visually or audibly.

    Not that I have much experience with shotguns but I think the stoeger m3000 is probably the best entry level 3 gun overall. Just throw on a +2 extension and open the loading port yourself and you have a competitive shotgun for under $600.

     

    High end would be a Benelli M2. If I ever get another one I would consider a 1301 or versamax.
