Thinking of getting one of these with the 20 inch barrel. My question is what kind of patterns are typical from this gun with that barrel length and a good choke with denser than lead 6's, 7's or a duplex load from either H-13 or Nitro? What numbers are folks getting in 10" at 40 yards?

Nice! I love how handy a shorter barreled shotgun is in the woods. If I could find a shell/choke combo that would get me a pattern like those I'd be more than pleased.

I have one with a carlsons .690 in it.  Shooting the winchester XR 3.5" 6's it shoots between 180-190 in 10 " at 40 yards.  Fun guns in my opinion!

I just checked my old pattern records. The one I had(set up with a bushnell trophy red dot) would reliably put 240-250 in the 10 at 40, using Hevi-13 2.25oz #6's. That was with a barrel that I polished myself using JB and Kroil, and a Jellyhead choke. It was my backup gun, and in a fit of stupidity, I sold the whole setup for 400 bux over the winter :'(. The one thing I will say that I didn't like about it, was the pistol grip in combination with the tang safety. It just wasn't comfortable for me.
