Well that's good news, Milt! I know you feel better about it all now. Sometimes, as my grandaddy used to say, a bad start makes for a good finish. Seems to be the case here. Some think that extended chokes in a S x S look as bad as death eating a cracker, but you got the gun shooting where it needs to, and that's a good thing. I doubt the weight of the extended tubes had anything to do with your shooting the gun well. More likely the confidence you have in knowing it is shooting exactly where it should helped your shooting.
