I was lucky with my Darne R-10; the stock fits me to a T and the 27.5" barrels are choked IC and Mod. The barrels even have a raised rib. I try to hunt with it a few times every year, but I can never remember whether the safety goes forward to shoot or backward. Don't worry, I always work that out before heading to the field. The reloading is actually pretty slick...Geo
