I agree with all the comments about a gun without a choke(cylinder bore). They shoot better than should given all we have been told or read regarding shotgun chokes.
I just recently bought a 2" 12gauge sxs with 25" barrels choked cyl/cyl. At my regular sporting clay place(PeaceDale Shooting Preserve in RI), there wasn't a target I couldn't hit/figure out(even if I needed a few tries) on the whole course. This was with 3/4oz loads with the short brush wads.
Looking forward to getting this gun old back action straightened out. I did read/figure out another piece of information. It seems the lower grade back action guns had the patent date on the trigger plate and higher grade back action guns had that information on the tang. At least in these early guns.
