That Remington has a six inch taper, the stock fit, the weight 8 3/4 lbs, the 30" barrels with those chokes has made it my favorite salt water fowler.
My 10 lb 5 ounce NH with 32" barrels has .024 and .030 constriction with about a 4.5" taper. The H&R also 10 lb 32" and the most massive of barrel walls has .036 and .040 constriction but I don't know the taper length. Both are good guns if you are sitting down with them across your lap until needed and I find it hard to stop my swing once I get them moving lol.
My 30" Lefever G 10 is 9.5 lbs with very thick barrel walls has .042 constriction in both barrels, unknown to me taper and also shoots the same load at 92/93%.
I also have a Lefever F grade 10 with 30" tubes, 8 1/4 lbs with .003 and .018 and in spite of the constriction it delivered patterns of 53 and 85% with 19 gr Red Dot 1 1/8 #6. A bit of a head scratcher but it's a nice 10 to carry.
A lot of shot above the shot cup doesn't seem to detract from the patterns in my experience.
