Eric you have the right idea, the noise issue is part of the problem otherwise I would just use any one of what I have.
Ct. is a populated little state that is thickly covered with small patches of dense woods(small as compared to most states, and many of the land owners are from our neighbors to the west( N.Y.)and they are mostly charter members of peta or act like it.The 42 acre parcel I have permission to hunt is bordered by just such people and they have called the police or GW on us in the past.
Boots I may have to go with the model 40 but need to make up my mind in a day because there is a N.I.B. for $450 on one of the auction sites.Also .75 or maybe a little tighter would be great,compared to the 1.75 or more that I got in the past with the 2 I had.
