Bill,
I haven't received the letter yet to see if that info is available.

My BHE 12 is a 30 inch Damascus gun set up for live birds. IIRC both barrels are choked .048 or tighter.

Leopold Vari X III 3.5X10X40 In all honesty it's very tight. I have a 32 inch Fox CE that's .040 and it's tighter than that. I like the gun but it's stocked for rising birds so I have to remember to hole under a target which needless to say doesn't happen much Makes a great trap gun but I don't shoot trap.

I have my great uncle's 12 Ga. Fox Sterly. It's .044 in both barrels. I'm not used to using two triggers, so often when shooting doubles in sporting clays, I forget to move my finger to the back trigger. By the time I get my brains right, the 2nd bird is 'way out. I'm amazed how often that target can be broken at 60 yards or so
