It is the Galazan 20ga with rifled barrels designed to shoot sabot slugs. Does anyone have experience good or bad with this particular model? What ammo brand was it regulated to shoot with. I'm hoping grey-boxed BRI by Winchester as they don't "kick" as hard as some others. Is Galazan SST reliable like SKB or Winchester 21 triggers? Is it worth $6000? I have Nikon Safari 1-4x20 laying around and I visit family in central NY where shotguns are needed for big game hunting so I was kind of thinking about buying one. The price seems reasonable for such unusual weapon made in USA. Thank you for any feedback.

Perhaps they can assist on gun specs?

Not an answer to your gun question but you may want to check where you hunt in NY. Almost all the countries have switched to allow rifles. It’s nice to use my leverguns now. What county you hunt in? Here is the map for legal implements.

Do you really want some feedback Jagermeister? OK... why should anyone with any brains at all play this silly game again? The last time you pulled this, you wanted our opinions on whether you should buy a Webley & Scott BLE or a Merkel 47E.

Jagermeister's Gun Buying Fantasy

In the end, you claimed to settle for some mysterious unnamed 4lb. 5 oz. aluminum 20 ga. pump.





And who here is foolish enough to actually believe that a guy like you, who doesn't own even one lousy double shotgun, would actually buy a new $6000.00 20 bore double rifle? I mean, seriously, you couldn't even complete the sale on several relatively inexpensive guns that you had on layaway, and you actually RENT a cheap Chinese .22LR bolt action rifle. Do you think CSMC has a layaway plan?

Then when we consider how you have told us several conflicting stories about the number of guns you actually own, and about your reloading and hunting activities... why in hell should we believe this, or anything you post here anymore?

Remember when you told us that you actually bought that Remington 870 Police Magnum, and even told us how great the recoil pad worked... the very same gun you later said was only on layaway, and you didn't complete the sale?



Here's some more of your bullshit, this time about reloading shotshells:

Post #475337 on 3/17/17- Thread: "Reloading Herter's 16 Gauge Shells from Cabela's"--

Don't you think it's pathetic and sad to have to live a lie, and to also be too dumb to keep your stories straight?

Perhaps, if the recoil of a 20 ga. slug is too much for you, pictures torn out of a Field and Stream and a Red Ryder might better suit.

Jägermeister:

Galazan's can answer the regulation question in a phone call. My recollection is that the regulation on these was adjustable in some fashion, although I may have it confused with another gun, as it's been years since I saw one in the flesh.

The base gun for these was the RBL. I've not heard any complaints about the RBL single trigger (except that it's missing its twin - sxs should always have two triggers). Several of the guys at my club have single trigger RBLs and shoot them extensively without issue.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for the update. Looks like Montgomery county allows rifles. When I used to live there it was shotgun only.

I would prefer 12ga because there are greater variety of loads available including some lower velocity reduced recoil ones. I see no point of getting punched excessively for no meaningful gain in performance. One does not need heavy slug traveling at 1600fps to down a wild boar or a deer.

The regulation on the RBL professional is adjustable. So pretty much any load could be used.
They are nice guns for the money. A 20g sabot is plenty enough for whitetail. No need for 12g. Really.

And, yes, pretty much every county in cny and wny has opened up for rifle.

By the way... "weapons" are used on people. Please do not refer to this or any other aporting firearm as a weapon.

I predict that will be your reason for not buying one. And, 280 grs. is not heavy.

I have one and tested it for every type of slug I could find. All were good but the cheap Remington's rifled slugs were the best. Key holes shots at 100yds. Damn good gun

Sure we do Jagermeister. We see it right here when you start yet another thread pretending that you are interested in buying a gun you obviously cannot afford. It will be interesting to see your lame and silly excuse for not buying this one.

You still don't own even one lousy double gun, do you? How would it look to you if I registered on some Golfing Forum as "Golfmeister" and posted advice about golfing and golf equipment... even though I don't golf or own a set of golf clubs?
How about if I also started threads about buying golf clubs, and never actually bought them, but reported that I did? That would be pretty sad and pathetic, wouldn't it?

Sound familiar?

I don't mind 20ga at all. Seeing that map kind of eliminates need for the gun, but I have to give this idea some very serious thought. Big upside in buying this is I could reduce my inventory of guns to just two or three. This is very, very strong incentive. As I'm getting older fewer is better. As I said before this particular gun is actually worth the asking price.
I feel they should have left the name 'Professional' out of the picture. The best 1911 pistol is made in Huntsville, AR USA. It is called 'No Name' because all one finds on the gun is name and address of manufacturer stamped in small letters on right side of the frame. That is brilliant just as is the name of the company that makes it.

I have personally seen problems with more than one RBL's single trigger.

Just saying.

I read rumors, therefore, I am curious how the unit stands up to loads generating heavy recoil. I don't really care about double triggers I just want good reliable trigger.

The best trigger is one you can only imagine in your dreams. So this should be perfect for a guy like you who simply makes shit up!

I must be one of the lucky ones I have an RBL 20 guage (not the professional) and have not had any issues with it at all!

I use these in my Professional. They had better groups than the lower velocity kind and never any fliers. I never really noticed a difference in recoil.

I use the RBL Professional for deer when I'm mobile, especially if there is a little snow on the ground. I've only ever shot one doe with it but it was a lot of fun to stalk a skidder road in the snow and take it at about 40 yards as it got out of its bed.

FWIW, I also have an RBL 16 and I've never had any problems with the triggers in either gun.
