I regularly use a drilling for coyote hunting, 16ga/16ga/6.5x58R Sauer(25-35 equivalent) I did put a low straight tube scope on it for a better cheek weld but it handles great, one of my favorites in the thick stuff. Someday I'll find one I can afford in 16/16/5.6x50R or 52R
I do have a couple of combo guns rifle/shotgun that serve me well also.
