I had an idea for this project, both as a trainer for my double, and also as a working turkey/rabbit gun. I have really enjoyed hunting with my 470 so I figured I would set up a trainer rig as close to it as I could. I purchased a CZ Bobwhite all terrain model from a fellow member here. That is the green cerakoted model that comes with sling swivels and also has magnets in the extractors to aid in loading in a duck blind or other awkward situations. I sent the barrels to Sumtoy Customs and he machined one of his red dot mounts to fit onto the rib so I could mount my RMR. I also had him make me a set of turkey chokes what he turned down the outside diameter so they would both fit in the gun. I hope to pattern it in the next few days. Our turkey season starts next weekend. There is also a new 5 stand complex just a few miles from the house. I hope to get it broken in good before swamp rabbit season this year, I think it should be an excellent rabbit gun

That’s a neat concept! Hopefully you whack a Tom with it.
 
Yeah, nice. I had a similar thought of using a side by side shotgun as a trainer for a big game double rifle, but havent done anything about it as yet.
 
How does it regulate?
Haven't put it on paper yet. The heavy TSS loads usually shoot to a different POI than filed loads and I will be that this gun was regulated for 7/8oz filed loads. I plan to shoot it tomorrow hopefully. I am also going to acquire or make some slugs for it just for the sake of experimenting.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.

Hi EGS

I read your thread with interest. Would you mind sending me that PDF? May I put it on my website?
