Winchester Model 12 Featherweight 12 gauge

[Jim Beilke]

Many years ago I bought 2 Model 25 Winnys. My Gunsmith removed the barrels and installed E R Shaw custom rifled slug barrels with a 1 in 34 twist. drilled and tapped the receivers, tuned the triggers and added recoil pads. I installed Luepold 1X4 scopes. These slug guns were capable of 11/2" groups at 100yds from the bench. They were my wife and my deer guns in our slug only part of MN.

They sound like good hunting shotguns. Now I'll tell you a secret. I have never taken a shot at a deer in my life. I'm a bird hunter. I'm not against deer hunting, but I have never done it.
