Wow! That's stunning Steve, how often do you shoot it and what do you put through it?

I guess I’m down to one or two hunts a year now, so it doesn’t come out as often as it deserves. The barrels are nitro proofed, and I use low-pressure 2 1/2” shells, currently Challenger brand, with 7 1/2 pellets in a 7/8oz load. The gun would fit me better if I shot with a stiff collar and top hat, which I might do one of these days!
