Great shooting Daryl!! The back end of the stock looks like it may be a bit painful with a thin shirt on! What are your thoughts on it's anticipated first use on game?




As to this gun's first use - maybe a black bear this spring? I'll not shoot a little bear - must be 6' or over. I've already taken a 6'4" black bear, so a nice 7 footer would be OK I guess. I know lots of people, my brother included who eat black bears, so it won't be a hide & head only kill. For a serious big game gun, I'd like to be able to shoot balls from both barrels. The left barerl would use plastic cases and a .662" ball, while the right uses brass cases and .684" ball.

This would mean having to shorten or relieve the tight choke of the left barrel I/C would be about right for RB and grouse - something I'm resisting right now. At full choke, it's really of no use on fall grouse while moose hunting. Our laws do not allow shooting moose with shotguns - perhaps the rifling will negate that law - perhaps not?
