Hi Gang:

I have a N.R. Davis 20 gage SXS that belonged to my wifes's uncle. I paid him $200.00 for it to keep peace in the family. It has an interesting history attched to it.

In any case, I had the stock bent to fit me, the chokes and forcing cones opened. and put back on face. The gunsmith assured me that the gun was safe to use with modern high pressure magnum shells. Along with the gun, I got a large number of 20 gage magnum 2.75 shells that were purchased circa 1971.

I enjoy using the gun for pheasant hunting but I would like to hear from you experts if it is safe to use heavy loads in this gun. After all it does say, AS Good as the Best" on the receiver.

Any opinions?

Thanks,

Franchi
