The Husqvarna shotgun getting patterned

[David LaPell]

I finally got my Husqvarna Model 20 12 gauge out to the range to get it patterned. Even though it's fluid steel and not Damascus I'm keeping the loads light. I loaded with only 7/8 ounce of shot, a pair of #4 shells and a pair of # 7 1/2's.
I set them up at 30 yards to pattern both barrels. The # 7 1/2 did really well with both barrels. Not sure why the left barrel for the #4 shot didn't cover the target much, not sure if it was the shell or if I pulled it or not. The right barrel did great. The gun only weighs maybe 6 1/2 to 7 pounds, it's very light, but the recoil with the light loads makes it feel like it's only a 20 gauge. I can't wait to load up a few # 7 1/2 shells and go out for squirrels. With warm weather coming up, will be a nice gun to take in the woods.

Sweet shotgun. I collect anything that’s made by Husqvarna from guns to kitchen ware, to chainsaws to dirtbikes..

Have you had the chambers lengthened, or are you shooting short shells?


Those are sweet guns, but they've only got two and a half inch chambers.
