Ok...maybe it was extreme...guilty. But just to illustrate a point, that it is not likely a game gun and that chokes aren't as much a factor on scores as one might weight as such, especially on clay scores. Over and over we've all seen posts by respected members advocating not putting screw-in chokes in vintage doubles or even modern doubles and opinions from them that chokes (or the matching of them to the task at hand) effect on the outcome of targets or game hunting is highly over rated.
I'm not likely to ever buy this gun and have no issue with him doing so, even though my post may suggest otherwise. If my post was passionate in that direction, it was just my way of emphasizing that he should be well informed before altering a gun, if only for his own peace of mind. Clearly, he didn't have a firm position before he posted, otherwise we'd be hearing of the ventures of his altered gun. I suggest more shooting enjoyment with the gun and less worry about scores or bag count.
