What Are Other Shotguns?

Other shotguns covers platforms that fall outside common action types and gauges. Examples include combination guns, rifle/shotgun hybrids, takedown field pieces, and specialty single-shot or double-purpose builds. These models often pair shotgun performance with centerfire or rimfire rifle capability for flexible use in mixed hunting or training scenarios.

Key Features

  • Multi-role chambering options that blend shotgun and rifle ballistics.

  • Modular or takedown designs for travel and compact storage.

  • Simplified actions for reliability across varied loads.

  • Specialty finishes and furniture for collector or mission-driven appeal.

Common Other Shotgun Types

  • Combination Guns: Built with a shotgun barrel over or beside a rifle barrel or hybrid single-barrel designs that accept both shotgun shells and rifle cartridges.

  • Hybrid Training Rifles: Platforms that offer a rimfire option such as 17 HMR alongside a .410 bore tube for economical practice and small-game work.

  • Survival and Camp Guns: Compact single-shot or takedown designs optimized for backpacking and emergency use.

  • Custom and Limited-Run Pieces: Specialty calibers, matched barrels, or custom stocks made for particular hunting rules or collector interest.

Calibers and Configurations to Know

Gunner HQ stocks Other Shotguns in chamberings designed for mixed roles and specialized missions:

  • 12 Gauge — The workhorse gauge for power, patterning options, and broad ammo availability. In specialty platforms, a 12 gauge barrel is often paired with rifle capability for maximum flexibility.

  • 410/17 HMR — A hybrid setup that combines a .410 bore shotgun capacity with a 17 HMR rimfire option for economical small-game training and precision varmint work. These combos let shooters practice rimfire ballistics and still field a shotgun for closer-range targets. Confirm configuration details for each model to match chambering and magazine type.

When evaluating specialty shotguns, confirm that barrels, chokes, and firing systems match the loads you plan to use.

Accessories and Mission Gear

To get the most from an Other Shotgun, consider:

  • Compact optics or low-power scopes that balance shotgun spread with rimfire accuracy.

  • Bipods or compact rests for precision rimfire work when using hybrid barrels.

  • Weatherproof cases and takedown bags for travel-ready models.

  • Dedicated cleaning kits for both shotgun bores and small-caliber rifle barrels in combination guns.

  • Suppressor-ready components and muzzle devices where legal and compatible with your chosen calibers.

Choosing accessories that match both shotgun and rifle elements is critical for reliable performance.

Use Cases

  • Mixed-Use Hunting: A 12 gauge paired with a rimfire option like 17 HMR covers shotgun-range targets and small varmints with one platform.

  • Training and Transition: Rimfire sections reduce ammo cost for practice, helping shooters build fundamentals before stepping up to centerfire or heavy shotgun shells.

  • Backpacking and Camp Guns: Takedown or single-shot specialty pieces provide a light, compact tool for field chores and emergency hunting.

  • Collector and Custom Builds: Limited runs, engraved actions, or unusual chamberings attract collectors assembling themed sets or historical-styled rigs.

Safe Storage and Maintenance

Store Other Shotguns unloaded in a locked safe or cabinet and keep ammunition stored separately. For combination platforms, clean each barrel type with the correct bore brushes and solvents. Inspect chokes, extractors, and firing pins more frequently on multi-caliber actions. Use padded transport cases to protect barrels, sights, and any detachable components during transit.

Tips for Choosing an Other Shotgun

  • Define the primary roles: training, mixed hunting, travel, or collecting.

  • Confirm barrel and chamber compatibility with the loads you intend to use.

  • Test handling and balance, especially on takedown or combo rigs that change weight distribution.

  • Verify spare parts and service options for specialty models before purchase.

  • Ask about sighting setups that will work across both shotgun and rimfire or rifle modes.

Other Shotguns FAQs

What is a combination gun and how does it work?

A combination gun pairs shotgun and rifle capability in a single platform, commonly with one shotgun barrel and one rifle barrel. Users choose the barrel and load appropriate for the target. Confirm the model’s barrel regulation and sighting setup for predictable performance.

Are 410/17 HMR combos practical for field use?

Yes. These combos let you use low-cost 17 HMR rounds for varmint practice and a .410 bore for close-range small-game or flushing birds. Always check the specific model’s chambering and feeding system before buying.

Do hybrid shotguns need special maintenance?

They require care for both shotgun and rifle components. Clean shotgun bores and rimfire barrels with compatible solvents and brushes, check extractors and firing pins for wear, and inspect mounting hardware on optics that span both modes.

Can I use full-power 12 gauge loads in a specialty platform?

Some specialty platforms accept full-power 12 gauge shells, but load capacity and pressure limits vary by design. Confirm the manufacturer’s ratings and recommended loads before firing heavy or magnum shells.

How do I select optics for a multi-role shotgun?

Choose low-power variable scopes or compact optics that offer quick target acquisition for shotgun work and enough clarity for rimfire or small-caliber precision. Mounts should be secure and rated for the recoil of the shotgun barrels.
