Got it done this morning

Congrats!! Sounds like an awesome hunt!!!
Tell me more about that scattergun. It looks like a classic old gun. What's the info on it?

I wish it was a classic, maybe one day.  It is a Spartan Arms (Remington import) single shot 12 gauge. I had a smith square the stock, add a limbsaver pad, cut the barrel and threaded for choke (remchoke), swivel studs added and new front bead installed. I have since (myself) polished the barrel and custom fit a picatinny rail on the barrel for the FastFire III. I'm shooting an Indian Creek .665 choke and have gotten great results from 3", 2-1/4 oz #6 Hevi-13 but incredible results from 3", 2-1/4 oz #4,5,7 Nitro's (242 in 10" at 40 yards).

The entire gun, loaded, weighs in at just under 7 lbs which makes carrying a breeze.

Nice!  Did you say 3" 2 1/4oz?  Is that 30113 Economy loads or the all-lead loads?  Just curious...

Oh...and sweet bird, by the way!!!

Bad information, sorry about that.  The shells I'm shooting are Nitro H321 which is 3" 2oz in 4x5x7 (hevi shot).

I think 2-1/4 oz would be nearly impossible with 3".

That bird is NITRO DEAD!    Congratulations!
