It's a full choke. I'll pattern it this spring. Limit my range to the pattern, and see if I can knock one down with it.
I've had it for a long time. But other than some squirrel and rabbit hunts haven't done much with it.

That is an old timey Goose gun.
They knocked geese out of the ski at 60 yard plus for years.
It is the old timers best Turky Shoot gun.
It will be fine for turkey hunting.
Get a reloading set up and make your own turkey loads.
That way you can customise a load just for that gun.
Use # 4, #6, and # 8 shot mix.
I would love to have one of those guns.
After all the old timers killed turkeys with 2 inch black powder shotgun shells in the day.
