Scott, I really like these NID Super 10's and have several of them. As you know they're often confused with the earlier Flues model, and with the later Ithaca Double Magnum which is just too heavy/ponderous for me. Super 10's will weigh 8-1/2 to about 9 pounds and were chambered for the new high velocity progressive 2-7/8" shells. This one was made in 1928 and is the so-called Star Model. Weight 8^15, chokes 44 and 44 points, LOP 14-1/4" and dah 2-5/8" (a little higher than typical).
I usually shoot heavy loads for long range hunting, on par with the original 4-3/4 DE & 1-5/8 ounce loads. Sorry, I won't give any recipes here or by PM. These Super 10's are fantastic long range guns. I've used mine for waterfowl, turkeys, called foxes in the winter, and at targets with 1-1/8 and 1-1/4 ounce loads. The problem is finding good honest guns and without mods like chambers lengthened for magnum 3-1/2" shells
