Bob, I do not have nor do I expect a vote. I have an opinion, and I have stated it. I don't like guns with open chokes because they don't work well for my type of hunting. I wouldn't open up a perfectly good field gun just to improve my skeet scores or to kill more planted quail. When I hunt wild quail in CA and AZ, tight chokes are the ticket. Opening the chokes does narrow your potential buyer pool, because you can never put the metal back into those muzzles.
