Title: New Shotgun toy
Post by: Old Guy on November 23, 2011, 10:09:43 PM
Just watched this used by Jerry Miculek on Impossible Shots, Outdoor Channel, Oceanic 212

   https://www.xrailbyrci.com/ (https://www.xrailbyrci.com/)      23 rounds downrange in 4+ seconds.

Seems to be up and coming item for extra rounds for any make/model shotgun.

Semi auto or Pump.

Carry more ammo than a Saiga. Winning :)

I guess it'd be good for 3-gun where you need 23 rounds all at once, but you can carry a few 12 round Saiga magazines to get higher capacity at a MUCH cheaper price.

^^ agreed^^

If the X rail was an addition to your favorite competition shotgun and had money to burn, go for it. My  question would be balance, that's alot of rounds in a forward position.

The scene of those 23 rounds under 4 seconds was awesome and made me immediately Google "X Rail" too !

The X Rail is pretty cool and would love to get one, but I'll funnel my funds to a Saiga for now.

Holy cow.

Looks heavy, though. All that weight out under the barrel.

I think the test will be how many Pro shooters take it up.

So far the stuff  I've seen in matches does Not require that many rounds.

Another way of looking at it is if our Combat troops pick it up.

Everything usually has Pros and Cons.

Good with the Bad.....

Seen that the other day on the Outdoor Channel! CRAZY COOL :thumbsup:
It looks really off balance but Mr. Miculek always makes it look easy... ;D
