I agree with you 100%. You are asking for a death wish hauling that kind of weight behind a 7K - 8K truck. If the trailer brakes fail you are really screwed. My standard cab Ram 2500 6.4 hemi 4x4 weighs in at 6800lbs. The towing capacity is around 13K if I recall correctly. The most I have ever towed was 7K. It felt like it wasn't even there except when pulling a hill.

That’s good information. I have a scope on my 24 sighted in for the rifle barrel and you could barely hit paper at 30 yards with a slug from the shotgun barrel.
When refilling, the cap often rests on the muffler melting a crease in it. A new to me, only a couple tanks through 462C had the cap melted and it was leaving a puddle, new cap, prollum solved.

Old articles, as it's a bit older tech these days, but heres what you need. They aren't designed for multiple barrel use, but it would be a great application for it, red dot(I prefer green) for the shotgun, and scope sighted for the rifled barrel.

So if I am understanding, the top optic would be for rifle barrel and side would be for shotgun?

Kinda looks like my sled! Took my 365xt for a final spin yesterday afternoon before boxing it up and shipping it off to it's new home. Besides the floppy caps, how do you like your 462?

Slabbed up a cherry log/burl yesterday, not the greatest but still kinda neat. 
Our old house was also a mish-mash. Interesting exercise trying to figure out what was done when. It also had a kitchen ell addition off the back. There was a natural gas stove with kerosene end heater (probably converted from wood) in the kitchen and early 1900's looking plumbing. The laundry room behind that had a soapstone set tub where we kids had our baths. The electric service was 115V only and, I think, 30A. The heat was an enormous coal boiler that had been converted to oil. Most of that got updated over the 20 years my father owned the place.
At some point my father realized there was an inaccessible space between the back of the hall closet and the side of the cooking fireplace. He poked a hole and discovered a tiny room which was apparently a place to keep a patient warm in cold weather.
The old house bug skipped my generation, but my daughter is fixing up an 1830's cape in mid-coast Maine. It's interesting that the architecture is appropriate for its age, but the construction looks older. Probably a function of its relative remoteness when it was built.
Don't know yet? saw in my pic is the 261C I went
crazy this winter! sharpened the chain on the 462C but haven't touched wood yet. Fingers crossed.
That's what I would do. I wouldn't be making a very long shot with a shotgun anyway, and a red dot would do great for deer. Not sure what other options there are other than 45 degree sights, which mount similarly, unfortunately for me, my eyesight isn't what it once was. I like the green dot's for quick acquisition, but you're young, so a nice peep sight might be nice for you.
Lots of options, just have to have the right scope mount.

I picked some toys up at the local rental/Stihl dealer. An old BG 60 and a TS 460. I also hope to be getting a job there on Saturdays. Only ten bucks for both!

I plan on doing some cutting myself, first time in a while, hope I didn't forget how
. A friend of ours had a good sized maple come down at here place, her son cut the driveway open, now the rest needs diced up. No plans to bring any home, lots of wood already here.
next couple weeks looking good....

I was wheelin' and dealin' to buy a new 572xp, but ended up horse trading for a 462. It should be here next week, so once again, fingers crossed.
Holy smokes, now that's a work bench!
For you cast iron guys.
"I have claimed the uncontested record of the Dutch oven stacking @ 10. I want to see it beat.
This one is several hams, scalloped potatoes, corn bread and honey butter. It was dinner for 60.
I lived in fear of the stack falling over for at least an hour."
