    hunting guns single or multi-shot?

    Was having a plink with my new bull pup (LR90) last night thinking what a great little gun she is, but i'm assuming in a hunting role most would prefer a multishot to save fiddling with pellets, especially if in the dark?

    so as a matter of interest, what are you regular hunters using in regards to a single or multi ?

    What about the 4th, 5th and 6th??

    Yea, normally multishot (cleaner, readier, non rattley pellets) or the TX if I am round the buildings and not going far.

    I use multishot, mainly due to ease of loading. Have a falcon so mags are cheap and load a few before going out.

    Multi shot for hunting every time, I'd rather fiddle about with a mag than a single pellet

    Multishot PCP. The lads have already mentioned most of the reasons why.
