8 inch liner inserted and welded at breach. Choked barrels to I/C MOD. I did not pattern on a board. I patterned on a sporting clays course with 5/8 oz RST. Shot the yellow (smallbore) course here. Targets inside 30 yds. Still plenty of choke in both barrels. Clay targets were broken well - not just chipped. Also reached out to 30 + yds. on quail but better with 3/4 oz load.
Fun to shoot. I don't shoot spreaders. I have not had good luck with them when I tried. Inconsistent - holes in patterns. I felt very confident with this gun. when I was on them they fell.
