Thanks guys for the comments.
I would agree about changing the chokes in a “collectors” gun, however I had this one made to my spec’s and purchased it directly from WC Scott in the late 80’s.
Due to a rapidly expanding family and my flushing dog passing on the gun has sat in the safe for a long time .
Recently I stated hunting grouse and wood cock again however with pointing dogs and really enjoy it. It seems that a lot of the Fourm members have a lot of experience with pointing dogs. When I had this one made most of my shots seemed to be quite a bit further out than what I had experienced with my springer spaniel. That is why I had the tighter chokes on the gun 1/4 and 3/4 English measurements.
So I wanted to get some opinions from the group. I plan on opening up the chokes and using this for wood cock and grouse, I have other guns to use other types of hunting/shooting.
Surprisingly this gun still fits me and is a joy to carry around all day.
The hunting will be in maine mostly.
I like to use the heavy 28 gauge loads while hunting and use the regular 3/4 for clay games.
I’m thinking of cylinder for the right barrel but not sure on the left maybe between IC and Mod.
Opinions please.
