[QUOTE="Southern Sportsman, post: 5052239, member: 10399"] Honestly, I didn’t do that much to it so there’s not much I would have done different. I like the extended butt pad. It wouldn’t have been necessary if I bought the standard gun instead of the youth, but I do like the 26” barrels. I was already a big fan of the Fastfire sight so that was easy. And I can’t imagine a better sight mount than the sumtoy. I would have mounted the sight an inch or two forward. I like where it is, but the rib is a little shallow at the very back where I put it. It would have been easier to tap just a little further forward. And I would have started with the .570 choke instead of .562, but I had to try to find out. As for shells, I shoot the same load in both barrels. I could shoot lead in the bottom barrel and save $10-$15 a year, but it’s not worth it to me. I load my own shells, so I have plenty on hand, and I like to kill them with a shell I made. I can load my gun in the dark and not worry about which shell goes where. And if I misjudge distance a little or need a follow up shot with the bottom barrel, I’d rather take my chances with 575 tungsten 9s versus 275 lead 6s. [/QUOTE]
