I am reposting this in this forum to hopefully get some more answers so if you could give me your opinions .I bought my wife a H AND R pardner pump 20 guage. Has 21 inch barrel and is smooth bore and has a modified chocke. It is drilled and tapped for a scope. Has anybody ever used a smooth bore for deer hunting and if so whats the max range you think it would hit good and what ammo is best for this situation?
