i am now an officially spoiled 20 gauge shooter!!

I received my nephew's new 20" barrel from redarrow today!  Thank you redarrow!  If this forum had a feedback sticky, you'd be getting 5 stars!  Anyways, I also received his new knoxx collapsable stock today so after super cleaning and polishing the barrel, I put her all together and screwed a jellyhead .570 choke into the buisiness end and went to try her out.  Don't have the synthetic foregrip or the red dot sight on yet but the gun is now so much more trim and compact than when she wore a 28" bbl and the stock wood furniture.  At 20 yards the poa was exactly the same as the poi.  Great start right there!  The patterns?  Cheap wal mart rem. nitro #5s produced a beautiful 15" pattern at 20 yrds with NO holes at all.  30 yards was just as impressive with 100% in a 30 circle and 15 kill hits on a federal xray target. Then I stoked her with some #6 heavy shots from Dunn's.  WOW is all I can say!  20 yard pattern was rediculous!  Perfect, dense, even pattern with ZERO holes and the 30 yards pattern was 100% inside 24" with 28 kill hits on the Xray target!  The really good part?  NO PUNISHING RECOIL...at all!  I have no doubt that a gobbler at 40 yards or less is as good as in the bag!   My nephew may never get his gun back!!
