I've been having too much fun with my bird-mutt! There's always been a part of me that is attracted to a SxS, so I snagged a loaner. Weatherby sent me a 20ga version or their Orion SxS for a few months. It comes with 5 different Briley extended chokes, skeet, improved cylinder, modified, improved modified, and full. I've killed a few training birds with it in the spring and shot some clays with it, but today I set out to pattern each choke with common loads.

I need to get the kid's help in marking and counting the holes. I also was curious about barrel regulation and shot a few chokes from both sides with the same load, and everything seemed on point. I think I ended up with 15-17 pattern papers shot.

My goal is to see how many different species in different states the dog and I can put down with this shotgun before I have to send it back, and then write about.

What do you want to know?
