I have upgraded. JC Higgins bolter 20 still around for the grand kids but hit up on a great trade and ended up with a BPS special field in 12 ga. Takes 3" shells and has screw in chokes. Got a Carlsons ported for large shot like #4 Hevi down to BBB or 4buck, I think it's a "light full" but shoots like X-full with that shot. Looks good in blue and real walnut. Shoots good and nice and light. 21" barrel and short (holds 3) magazine plus 1 in chamber and straight "English" style stock. Great looking gun and good shooter. I like #5 in the 20 and #4 for the 12. Have my eye on a used Franchi 48 in 20 ga at a LGS. Working on getting some cash to put layaway on that beauty. Catfish hooking good on the winter trotlines with the mild weather and big ones are $.65 a lb. and others are $.45 and I'm grossing 80# to 100# to market every other day. So the Franchi soon come home with me! Having bolter and pump shotguns all my life a auto be a treat. Wishing great spring hunting to all. W
 
Here is mine. Remington 870 with extra full choke and magnum blend hevi shot.

Shot this bearded hen at 15 steps.

Nice bird, I've not shot a bearded hen yet, have only saw one in woods myself,
Question on your load, I read somewhere that with ML shotguns its best togo up in shot size, how far do you feel/have the #6s will still be able to kill a bird, I would rather be using #4 shot instead of the #4buck.

Sorry for the late reply. The gun owner and myself decided to limit our self on 25 yards and under on the shots. #4s and #5s did not pattern near as well as the 6s, and with our decision to limit shot distance, we decided on #6s.

With a modern inline I would consider 5s with a heavier payload
 
Mossberg 500 or 835 both with undertaker chokes.the 835 will take 3.5 magnams but my old shoulder don't like them much.lol Have a slug tube with the 500.Seen on u tube guy making a muzzle loader out of shotgun.
 
I use my 86 year old Steven single shot 16ga the most, White Thunder with full choke and 870 12ga with extended full.
 
Encore 15" 45/410 factory choke Federal #9 tss and 20" 20ga Federal #9 tss Carlson turkey choke.20190414_230807.jpg 20190310_170344.jpg
 
I'm going Turkey

hunting tomorrow and using my Hunter Fulton. It was made in the 1930's and was the Bottom of the Line LC Smiths. Great 16ga side by side. Back then LC Smiths were $60 and Hunter Fulton $30.

I use a 19-gauge side by side with IC/Mod chokes. #6 shot in tight choke and BB's in loose choke. Out to 30-yards it has always proved fatal for the Tom's.
 
Knight TK 2000,100 grains of powder and 2 ounces of 5's and inside of 50 yards and I shoot straight,its a done deal.
 
That is why I named the gun THE BEAST. Gonna try and get a deer with it this season,buckshot not slugs.:elmer:
 
Lol “The Beast” is appropriate! I haven’t shot buck yet. I did open a tube to .774 in order to try buck.
Still using TSS #9’s myself.Have posted result on here.
Put a Limbsaver on my TK.

Gonna try some “sperimenting” w 12ga slug wads with:image.jpg
