I have a short heavy barreled version, can’t remember if it’s H&R or NEF. For some reason I think mine is NEF. It is pretty damn stout with the turkey loads but a pussycat with the slugs in comparison. I purchased a MOD choke tube to shoot slugs because I acquired 10 boxes of federal 10ga 3.5” slugs at an auction for $1.00 per box.

On paper I can group them on a paper plate at 100yds with just the single bead, that’s with the MOD choke. The model I have is D&T forward on the barrel a ways, kinda like a scout scope set up. So, I got some weaver bases and warne rings. Mounted six different scopes and a red dot. No luck with any of them, can’t get one of them to shoot better than a 48” group at 25 yards. I even re mounted the bases each time. They are tight and I torque my rings to spec as well.

Went back to the single bead....5 shots on a paper plate at 100 yards.


Enjoy the hunt while it lasts!
