Mine is one of my prize possessions. It started life as the 10 gauge equivalent of a GH and then went back during the Remington era for a set of 32 inch VH Magnum chambered tubes. I've never put it on paper but it will kill a goose as far away as I feel comfortable shooting at them. I kept track for awhile and finally got ashamed after the old gun broke the 300 mark. I've had it about 10 years so it's seen some service. It likes the Federal Tungsten Polymer loads, they've quit making them but I've got enough to last a few more seasons. In lead, the 2 ounce shells are a dream, but the heavier 2 1/4 ounce loads will literally drive you into the ground. Its on a #3 frame and isn't as heavy as I'd like but that makes it a little quicker when I'm laying flat in a ground blind. I call it "The Preacher" because any good fowling piece should have a name
