My dad has one of these. I set it up for him with the Buck Hunter BDC reticle and then sighted in for him.
I started at 100 yards with the Barnes Tipped Expanders by Federal. My first two touched as you can see, so I said to hell with firing a third since those things are expensive. I made an adjustment, my next shot was dead center as you can see.
That fourth shot up off to the right was made by a friend of mine who happens to be a cop, that also just finished a week-long shotgun refresher course. I've seen people flinch less when they've been kicked in the gonads.... hahaha.
I think he was a bit traumatized about the whole shotgun thing in general, hence the terrible shot.... said he fired somewhere between 400-500 rounds of 00 Buck in one week. Just thinking about that makes my shoulder turn a nice shade of purple.
All in all, it is a hell of a weapon. With that, if you choose to use a BDC reticle in your scope, please be double sure to check what the specs are on it, i.e. make sure your ammo's ballistics are meant to match your scope's specs.
