I have a 22lr/20g. I cut the butt plate and installed a sheet metal cover so I could carry ammo in the stock like some of the models produced in the 70s when I bought it. Very handy modification. It is choked full, but I have taken two deer with slugs. I have always enjoyed combining deer and squirrel hunting. Some say you can't do it, but I have had several deer come toward my shot over the years. I don't think they could set their reference on a 22 short or cap which is what I shoot for squirrel.
