Thank you Daryl. I know a whole hell of a lot of people who shoot a lot and wish for tighter chokes and not a whole lot who want less choke. And that includes bird hunters too. That is why God made spreader loads. If it was 1925 and I was ordering a VHE it would be a 16 on an 0 frame with 26" barrels, weigh 6 lbs and be choked M/F or IM/F and that's about what you'll find anyways.

With my apologies to Mr. Roth for sidetracking his thread here I'll say one last thing about chokes, chambers, etc. The very first Parker I bought 54 years ago was a 20ga VHE, 26" which I assumed was IC/M as that's what I was told by the seller. Back then I knew nothing about checking bores, constrictions or chamber lengths. I shot the snot out of that gun on everything from quail, ducks, geese, doves and turkeys. Ten or so years ago I acquired the equipment to perform those measurements and guess what? It was IM/F with 2 1/2" chambers. Take from that what you will.
