Would like your opinions of this Forty Yard pattern of my Encore Twenty Gauge with the factory ported T/C Choke tube with Hevi-13 #7s

Other than the pattern being just a tad off-center low, I'd say that you is one dead bird!

Yeah I need to adjust the scope. I haven't had the barrel that long and one day that the weather was warm and had just purchased the shells tried one out to see how it would do. I need to spend some more time on it. Thinking about getting a Sumtoy choke for it. Also considering trying some of the Federal HTL #7s

Just consider that if you aimed at the junction of the neck and where the feathers start your pattern may get into the breast possibly so I would raise the point of aim slightly or change sights if any.

Very excellent pattern you have but be right on him as a head bobble may mean a clean miss.
