Sorry Guys. Have been to the Tulsa Gun Show and then hog hunting in Oklahoma...no luck on hogs.
The shotgun is a Stoeger Upland Supreme 12ga SxS. This is a single trigger gun. I've had a dovetail cut into the non-ventilated rib and put on a Williams sight. Surprisingly, the front bead, although a little large (1/8"), acts as an acceptable front sight for now. Only full and modified chokes came with the gun so bought a couple of skeet chokes for use with slugs.

Have shot a number of loads at 50 yds with this gun. Best so far were Rio Royal 2-3/4", one and one-and-one-eighth ounce slugs. Consistent 2 to 2-1/2" groups at 50 yds. Also, round balls loaded on top of Win wads with the petals cut off and star crimped shoot very well.

Shotgun has an atrocious trigger. One barrel is eight lbs, the other is 10 lbs, both with a number of "catches" while squeezing the trigger. I dropped it off at a shotgun gunsmith Saturday for work to be done on it.
