I've given some more thought to the matter, and decided that I already have a beautiful 1905 Lefever I Grade at Rod Gate's getting the chokes opened from modified and full to skeet and tight improved cylinder.
I think I'll leave my Benardelli alone, until I get the Lefever back, and shoot that awhile and see how I like those chokes.
My Bernardelli was never intended to be a target gun. It was made to shoot ducks and pheasants and long range birds with. It tosses round, even, tight patterns the way it is now.
Maybe it's good to keep one light game gun, with tight chokes, to go squirrel hunting or dove hunting with.
When you have a bushytail in the top of an big oak tree, or doves whistling around over a harvested field, no choke is too tight.
Besides, I've been wanting to try out Polywads, anyway.
My factory spreader loads are hot and nasty, and it might be fun to load a bunch of spreaders to shoot skeet with.
I just hate leaving a perfectly good gun, alone, and not trying to improve it.
But then again, I hate to mess with a perfectly good gun, and take the chance of messing up something that's good to start with.
I guess that's why I keep accumulating all those old shotguns.
