I’ll have to look into it further should be in next week or so. It has 30 inch barrels so anything less than full choke would be great for me to use on the Sporting Clays course

Chokes can be changed over time. Always good to do your own patterning.

From surviving hang-tags we see 12-gauge 30-inch guns being targeted with 1 1/8- or 1 1/4-ounce loads.
125594 12-gauge, 2 3-4 inch, 1 1-8 ounce.jpg 213855 12-gauge, 2 5-8-inch, 1 1-4 ounce.jpg Number 7 Tatham Chilled Shot goes 299 pellets to the ounce -- 1 1/8 ounce would be 336 and 1 1/4-ounce 374. So, 253/336 = 75.3% or 253/374 = 67.6%. |

Those tags make it look like mine will be pretty close to a full choke. A little tight for Sporting Clays but I’ll make do.

By the Parker records those are most likely full chokes. Men's Department chokes.
