Does what it does. It has a great sound. Ever since I bundled up I have not touched it ever again.

I love this shotgun, I haven't used it in a while but I loved using it, it's accurate, powerful, and shoots at beyond 150 yards, it uses only one shot so it makes you go 'Darn! I can only use one shot, better make this one count!' because that's me XD. I always like guns that use one shot like bolt action, single shot break action, and 1 shot bolt action rifles (ex .300 rifles). Good for any hunting. Recommended!

What can I say about this shotgun that has not already been said?
Using the right ammunition and tactics, this firearm will allow you to harvest animals across all reserves.
I'd say this is one of the best "backup" long-arms in the entire THC arsenal.

I noticed this shotgun patterns the most "realistically" in my opinion.
It has a 50:50 horizontal spread and a 70:30 (-ish) vertical spread, meaning you should aim with a 6 o'clock hold near the bottom of a target.
Most of the other shotguns in theHunter Classic tend to pattern centered on the bead (or slightly to the right of) but the Single Shot Shotgun patterns nicely centered, yet slightly above the front bead.

If there is ever a "Carbon" or "Modern" version of this classic firearm, I'd definitely pick it up just for the novelty and the lovely sight picture.
