I believe you!

I remember reading all that, how slugs, brenneckes, etc can only be shot in cylinder bores. Or at "great risk!!!" very open chokes !!! I remember reading, and thinking, how different from our guys here on this NE thread.

I have to play with it still. But my Simson Suhl shotgun, DDR marked, wax a bit of a loose end. Possibly would have sold it. But this thread opened my mind to new ideas. See how it goes with larger shot for hares and foxes. It could be one my specialist fox drive shotgun. BBs to no. 4s. Try it with buck shot, SSGs and SGs. And of course suitable slugs. Probably try somevexpensivevfactory Brenneckes type shells if they are available. But preferably some sort of handloadable suitable slugs. It's only got a shotgun front bead. Perhaps fit other better sights? But probably a red dot of some sort first, preferably detachable. Definitely fit some sling swivels for ease of carrying longer distances. East European shotguns look right on a sling.

A poor man's 12-bore "rifle" idea, paradox etc. A lot depends on how well slugs shoot in it. BBs for foxes, I don't think will be a problem. Unless the chokes are too tight for my average to mediocre shotgunning skills. I don't want to miss foxes, just to have slightly longer ranges. I'll have to practice on Fox paper targets at various ranges. See where it shoots. A running fox target might be cool. But if using shot, how does one repair the target in between shooters?

Roos in thickish scrub and SSGs might be workable. Are shotguns legal? Getting on foot in range of a roo might be a challenge. Roos are very alert. Not hard for a centrefire rifle.but actually very difficult for say a bow.

An "Eastern European" shotgun slug shooting on a running boar target competition might be a cool idea. Competitors shoot at a running boar target with their shotguns and slugs.

I've probably said all this before.
