I have same exact gun!
Spent some time patterning the Carlson dead coyote with it.
Shot federal 3-1/2" turkey loads, 3" Winchester and Remington nitro mags, Remington #4 buck shot and hevi shot dead coyote. For my gun the Winchester 3" turkey loads shot 10x better than federal 3-1/2" and Remington nitro mags. Which I wanted to pattern for turkey hunting and coyote hunting.
For coyote hunting the hevi shot put 3x more pellets in the 8"-10" kill zone then the buck shot.
Keep in mind this is at 50 yards.
I put a $70 red dot sight on and it works just fine.
