I aint seen this mentioned yet, but you better check the law. I see a lot of talk about buckshot. Here in Ohio buckshot is illegal.

Re: 2.75 v. 3" shells, 2.75 is plenty, why beat yourself up with the magnums?

If you have a lot of open country, you might want to scope that gun. I've got an Aimtech scope mount that will fit it, no gunsmithing required. $38 ppd. It may scratch the side of your receiver putting it on and off, but it's a good, solid mount.
