WHY oh WHY, does it seem as if everyone wants to mess with chokes before using the gun as they intend to??I think a lot of people read too much and dont shoot enough. Learn to shoot em! I just had to "fix" a choke someone messed with, and left the bbl oval....GEEZ.........Mike if you like the gun, and want it, buy it. Shoot it awhile, get to know it, and then worry about the chokes. All of the guns I own and and shoot, seldom are the misses the guns fault...Even with Amarillo Mike as my shooting coach, I still miss once in a while...not often..
