I use a Guide series Ithaca Model 37, equipped with a 24" ported turkey barrel and an Ithaca .660 choke. I've topped it with a Bushnell multi-reticle reddot scope on a B-square mount. I'm shooting Winchester X-tended Range 3" #6, and can count an average of 125-150 pellets in a 10" circle at 40 yards
She's deadly as long as they don't get too close. At 10 yards, I can blow a slug-sized through a piece of 3/4" plywood[:-], but can also easily pull it slightly wide...[
