Did some quail,dove and woodcock hunting with an old Savage SXS shortened to 22 inches, no choke. After taking some wood out of the stock to get it back in balance, it handled well.

I doubt it would have been satisfactorily as a goose gun, or long range ducks, but it worked for me as a fast, close shotgun...
