The gun is very effective and gets a lot of use; but, I got to thinking, what if I had Kirk put a couple of short chambered 10s on it with skeet chokes.

10's are fun but to me the fun is the enhanced long range performance over smaller bores. So with that said I like your idea but the skeet chokes take away from what the 10 does best.
