I get what you’re saying and I’ve tried it. But I don’t want a YouTube video gun. I need a gun that will do it all the time in real life, my life. The problem I ran into with cheaper less powerful guns is you can’t follow the slug where it and your barrel wants to go. And even if you can, because you’re pushing the gun so hard, its shot cycle hurts the potential accuracy when you start to stretch it out. Upper tier guns that produce big power in their sleep make your starting point on this side of the hobby easier.
Some of these upper tier guns, like the one in the picture are still loaded with flaws. But it’s about picking which battles you want to fight. Nowadays I try to pick refinements over hot rodding.
I also shoot mice off this feeder at night with this gun. I might miss one out of five. I have a really good P15 that will shoot pellets and slugs. I have maybe $1,300 in it. It’s really really good out to 100 with both. But it can’t compete with this M3 after that. And I threw the kitchen sink at it. They have the same barrel and same caliber. The naturally more powerful gun just gave me more to work with.
