Here in Idaho it is legal to hunt with an SBS (sawed off shotgun). I have been thinking about using mine for upland game this year.
Mine is a model 1887 replica cut to 10 inch barrel and threaded for screw in chokes. Mine was also tuned (before cutting the barrel) by a cowboy action gun smith to make it more smooth and reliable. It came with a pistol grip but I also got a shoulder stock for it.
Patterning the gun with chokes results in a similar pasterns as my 22 inch 870 with the same choke (Modified and Full)
I also shot it over my Chronograph and to my surprise it is only slightly slower (75-200 FPS) velocity wise than my 22 inch shotgun wish several different loads tried. Slugs seemed to loose the most velocity but still not to a point that I feel it effects performance.
The one down side is that it is very loud. Ill wear a set of electronic muffs.
So my question is, is there a reason I should not try it?
