What if someone were to save the cost of barrel work, and just shoot a few rounds of each of the clays disciplines and see what happens. See if the gun can smoke 'em. The next gun doesn't seem like it's too far down the road, maybe it'll be choked differently. I wouldn't be opposed to choke work, but you could get the next six hundred dollar gun for a pretty good discount if this one might have a place as is, like in the duck blind. Only thoughts, nothing more.


Craig, that gun MIGHT be good in the duck blind . . . if the poster hunts ducks, and if he were able to shoot lead in it. But as is, it's clearly choked too tight for steel. So unless he shoots ducks and wants to pay for the more expensive nontox loads, opening it up to nothing tighter than mod would seem to be a good idea. Then he could even shoot steel at ducks.
