I've decided for the dollar laid out versus what one gets the EH/GH/Grade 2 guns are about perfect for me .

As I like engraving but I also like using them . While I say I would take a DH or BH or AH out hunting if I had any of them , when push came to shove I'm not sure if I would or not . Certainly I'd take them on a skeet or trap field but hunting I'm not so sure .

Now if I shoot this thing well enough to suit me wednesday half the struggle is done . Then I can start trying it on paper at 30-35-40-45 and 50 yards with lead #4 and if they do okay I can try it a bit with Bismuth #1 handloads as well . It's my intention to make this my #1 goose gun this coming year . Well that is after I kill a brace with my old W&C Scott 10 gauge .

I was shooting mine today. went crow hunting here in NH. Glad i had my 10 ga lot of shots 45 yds or more. i even drop one at about 60 yds. this is my go to crow gun. choked .025 in both barrels. shoots 6's the best, from 1 oz to 1 1/2 oz. loads i have shot ducks, geese, turkey, crow, trap, sheet, and sporting clays with it. i do love a 2 frame 10!
what the S/N is on your gun? maybe it's close to mine 5663x , they made alot of 12 ga 2 frames when they came out with the 1st hammerless 12 ga, I thought they might have had alot of frames around in the beginning so they made some 10 ga guns too while the 1st 3 frame hammerless frames were being made???

Mine is 57,70x and by the serialization book it's correct as 10 gauge 30" .

I'm not sure how this bad boys gonna be on 40-50 yard shots on geese since it's only M/IM .

I think I'd be a tad bit more than "semi happy" with that gun!
