Max range for any buckshot to make a deer stopping kill is around 25yds.The problem is individual tiny balls loose power in a hurry.When you compare them to a foster type slug in 20ga that weighs 3/4oz and is good for about 50/75yds and as I recall #3 is the largest you can get,holding shots to 25yds and under sounds good to me.Try some foster type slugs.As with any shot the full choke would be the tightest pattern. ,,,sam.

thanks for the answers

Dear unregistered. You need as many brands of buck shot as you can find to try (if that is what your using by regulations and all) try all chokes, full mod, Imp Cyl, any others yoiu may have. Get a large roll of paper and check for tightest pattern (most pellets in a heart lung area about the size of a paper plate) at no more than about 40 yards with this set up. DO NOT shoot at a deer at 70 yards with buck shot.

Look at the rear of the barrel and on the left side right in front of the Receiver should be a 2 or 3 Letter stamp such as KP or RYY on the barrel... Rich

That's interesting. I'd say it was not true and I think Benelli's have the same over bore dimentions as Brownings and Winchesters. As far as the Choke does'nt it have screw in chokes ??? Or is it a fixed choke barrel ?

given that you really like the gun then it was a bargain. There are some good buys in shotguns out there if you look around. One thing I like to mention is to check the used gun racks at your dealer plus the pawn shops. Sometimes you can be surprised by what is on the shelf in terms of name brand shotguns with very little apparent use.

hi there my m8 has this bc miroku but we cant find a butt stock for it any were here in new zealand any help or info on were to get a stock from would great thanks guys

You can find an FFL Dealer thru gunsamerica.com website and arrange it that way. The instructions are posted on their website. Cost looks pretty reasonable. I also would like to buy another Marlin Goose Gun for a fair price.

In my opinion it depends on the gun. Quality brand guns normally don't have a problem, while cheaper guns tend to break the firing pin. I have only had one gun that the firing pin broke on, and it was a saturday night special.
