Daryl, I'm not planning to get back into box birds but if I were it would be my Model 21 Duck 30-incher that was ordered with a higher MC stock and independent safety. Weight 8 pounds and with factory Mod & Full chokes. And now that the Winchester AA Super Pigeon load is gone I'd be shooting the so-called "high brass" 1-1/4 ounce load, 8's in the right barrel and 7-1/2's left. Better yet handloaded 1-1/4 oz of 7's in the left barrel if that's currently legal per Flyers Association rules? JFI, one of the better shots I've seen at the rings used high brass Remington 9's in the under barrel of his Krieghoff with its factory Pigeon fixed choke barrel. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that loading had been discontinued since then. Bottom line, this isn’t an activity for guns and loads that aren’t up to the task.
