    3 reasonable bucks but not as good what we have on the deck so far. Unofficial Douglas scores are 255 265 and 274

    Cool

    Buckshot
    Since I change to the shotgun for Roar - my success rate has more than doubled.
    I kick myself for not using it in Pureora back in the 80's.
    All stags are sot inside 60m (most at 15-30).

    No good for Alp-tussock-top roar hunting of course - just heavy bush hunting

    Since you are a .223 man - still gets used when I am somewhere I shouldn't be heard :-)

    @Sarvo re; your sucsess rate. Is that because you found when you shot a stag it didnt go down so you lost it? What were you using before?

    Yes and no
    More the point that action happens in very close and very quick.
    I use 223 - and that is an issue with deflect in the tight crap these chaps always seem to put themselves in.
    It prob also a confidence thing - you point this shotgun and if you are no further than 40m - its all over for him.
    Another plus is - I can hunt with my glasses on - my sight is very poor without - so before some1 bumps me over safety issue - it aids in identifying even without a scope
