Is that M/IM fixed choked gun capable of shooting steel? How about when the firepower of 3" loads might be called for? How about Handicap Trap Doubles? Or how about those screaming rabbit targets at 15 feet?

Just think, no more muttering to yourself . . . "I sure wish I had a Sporting Clays Classic!"

You have a good point but for this guy, I don't shoot 3" or steel shot. If I must shoot steel that's what my fixed choke BSS is for. If I'm waterfowl hunting I use ITX or TSS. I can shoot ITX in my Parkers. It has a custom stock and an ISIS recoil system so it handles my waterfowl loads and my heavy crow loads (1 1/8 oz #5 or #6 at 1350-1400 FPS).

What Mike said. I find no need for 3" or steel. I find that not worrying about chokes let's me focus on what's important. I bought my BSS way back when they first mandated . If need be I'll use a non-tox load.

Yeah I got past playing with 3” when I had that hardware store HE Fox . My handloaded 3” 1 5/8 ounce loads were eye opening to say the least !
