I laughed out loud with the instructions to "RUN." I'm picturing Danny Devito running down the mountain towards the end of Romancing the Stone and shooting backwards over his shoulder without looking.

Sounds great. I'm waiting on a LWRC .223 I've also ordered for intermediate range needs. However, the ammo for that weapon is a little more straight forward than all the options for a shotgun. I just read on another post that pellet size is of critical importance. So why not 000 buck instead of 00 buck? I'm 6'2 and 230 so I'm not as concerned about recoil in a life and death situation.

Thank you for the info!

Thanks M1014.

but if it does, I would like to rely on the M4 I just bought as a one of my survivial tools. The two main questions I have surround 1) gun setup and 2) ammo. I welcome all opinions and suggestions. I'm looking forward to spending the time on the range answering my own questions but am hoping you guys can provide suggestions in the mean time. This is my first shotgun and I've only hunted with friends a couple times (they had all the gear). 1) Setup lights, mounts, lasers, etc. I've spent a lot of time reading the board already but I was hoping everyone would weigh in with their favorite. 2) ammo There are so many different options for ammo. What are some of the pros and cons of 3" or 2-3/4", 00 buck or 000 buck, what type of slugs, etc. Also, what other ammo should I consider to use for hunting small game (as a last resort) with the M4. Is one manufacturer a clear winner? Thanks for sharing your knowledge with a newbie.

Thanks for the info!

New to the board and been reading all the discussion on best mounts for the M4. Seems like M80 might have some issues and B&T makes a very good mount. Anybody tried the Mesa Tactical barrel clamp? I can't post the link to the clamp because my post count isn't greater than 5. Check it out on the Mesa Tactical website. Anybody know of any issues? Thanks.
