I use my 24 - .22LR over 20 ga. 3" - in the fall during both turkey and deer seasons when I am squirrel hunting. The two seasons usually coincide here in central Virginia. I usually carry both 3" mag. no. 3 buckshot (for deer) and #4 fine shot (for turkey) should either happen by. So far neither has, but I figure I am adequately equipped if they do.
I use a 4X scope on mine with the see-thru mounts so I can use the shotgun barrel without having to look through the scope. I know a lot of folks don't like the see-thrus (I am one for the most part) but, at least for me, it works perfectly for this type application.
