My dad bought one to hunt with since he liked hunting with a light barreled H&R 12 ga. He nor I liked shooting it. I tried all sorts of loads to find one he didn't find objectionable, and we couldn't. And I didn't blame him.

We have one of those heavy barrel slugsters in 12ga, a light slim slug barreled one in 12ga and one in 10ga. So it's not like I'm not used to them. My Marlin loads were VERY quickly ruled out. Trapdoor loads were still no fun. Even the load I shoot in my Contender Pistol I didn't like shooting in the Handy Rifle. Doesn't make a lot of sense but it was true. It got sold quick and he went back to hunting with the 12ga.
