While going to school at the University of Idaho in the early to mid 70's, a good friend of mine bought one of the Marlin bolt action 10 gauges for a song from a guy. Although I'm not sure if this was it's primary purpose, the guy my friend bought the gun from used it for hunting huns and pheasants in the area, perhaps even chukars!

Full length 3.5" shells handloaded with 6 & 7.5 shot. My friend probably still has those handloads.
