Just my perspective.

All three of my W&C Scotts have the "Not for Ball" stamp on the underside the tubes as well as the 10 gauge fluid steel barreled Greener I had . IF memory serves the muzzles on my 10 gauge Scott measure .720 ish . It never was great with buckshot but I killed one deer with it and went on to another gun . If I ever quit adding 10's I'm quite sure my 10 gauge buckshot and slug gun will be my EH that's factory 28" unless of course I find a factory original EH that's 24 or 26 inches .
