Darly, I agree but the gun does have a set of legit 3" barrels. Considered sending it to Briley and having screw in tubes installed to shoot in the duck blind. Only real reason to have that heavy Fox to me. They are no joy to carry for miles on end. The chokes are ruined and I think the real handling as a long range duck gun is gone also. How about a 9 pound quail gun? Doesn't that sound like a dream gun to carry?
