Leaf here, what do you need to kill pic related?

>>32274659
Sounds like you could use a pump action shotgun. Slugs will ruin the day of even the biggest critters.

>>32274684
Any model in particular? Most I've ever used when it comes to firearms is a BB gun and a .22 Winchester

You can get a cheap SKS in Canada afaik. That's a good start; shoots a common and cheap round (7.62x39) and is semi automatic. Has folding bayonet for stabby situations. Stock internal mag holds 10 and aftermarket detachable mags go higher than that. You'll just need to learn how to clean it because when they get dirty they can be prone to slam firing which is always fun.

Mossberg 500 with brenneke black magic slugs. You can now put down anything that walks on this planet. Also an option is a marlin 1895 in .45-70.

Mossberg 500s and 590s are very reliable. Last I checked Remington's quality went down the shutter but older 870s are still fine weapons. Maverick 88s are servicable, if a little bare bones.

There are others, people will say Winchester or Benelli, or whatnot. Pump actions are very well-refined weapons and many good options are avalible.

A full size rifle round. .30-06, 8mm Mauser, or .303 and 54R as is so popular in Snow Mexico.Placement is always key when dealing with that much angry mass.

>So tl;dr I want to stop being a newfag for guns and have a weapon that could cope with anything I might run into

Silver

Mag pinned to 5 as per Canadian law

Also, heavy and loud to carry compared to a <24" bbl shotty

Both of these will absolutely ruin Pooh or Bulwinkle's day.

Compound bow works, otherwise I'd use .308 or similar. They're not that bad, they die just like everything else if you hit the vitals.
