I'm headed to Kansas pheasant hunting this week and don't have the time to pattern it before I go so what is your experience with the performance of a 20 ga cylinder bore choked gun ?
I will be shooting RST 7/8 oz #5's and just curious what to expect from the right barrel.
Thanks

Growing up, one of my Dad’s pals and hunting buddies hunted everything he hunted with one gun. It was a Iver Johson Cycle Works single shot 20 gauge with modified choke. He killed the crap out of wild Pheasants in the Texas panhandle with that gun. Just shoot the left barrel, pretend you are shooting a single shot, and you will be fine. I agree with most everyone here, that a far flushing wild bird is not for that cyl. bore, but modified sure is.
