Bill what is your ten choked that you shoot the steel loads? I have a Beretta Silver Pigeon and I think it's choked F and F.

No exception. As I said earlier in this thread, I have one too: 12 ga, 28", 3" chambers, IC/MOD. I never have, nor do I ever plan to, shoot 3" shells in it.

Joe, I think the key word in my post that Steve quoted is the word standard. Perhaps yours and other 3" non---SSS or SCC guns were an optional chambering. (??)

EDIT: Per the linked attached chart the SCC and SSS models were the only 12-ga. 28" guns with standard 3" chambers from the factory. The .410, 26" and 20-ga. 28" guns were standard fare with factory 3" chambers.

This post reminds me that the skeet chokes that came with my SCC gun are /should be ( I have'nt unpackaged them ) Skeet 1 and Skeet 2.

As the universal ( American ) Skeet constriction is 0.005 ", what should I expect these 2 chokes to measure ?

Guess I have the exceptions. My SCC is marked 2 3/4" and my 12 ga with 26 inch bbls, choked IC/MOD is marked 3".

Donovan, I believe your sporting clays gun is not an exception and the chart may have an error. Parker Repro paperwork is not 100% accurate. There are a few errors. Your 26" gun with 3" chambers is certainly an exception, probably a special order.

I love dragging out pictures of my 12! Check out the lengths and chokes. I think it is quite uncommon and one of my favorites.

My 12 ga Steel Shot Special does have 3 inch chambers and it is marked
2 3/4 & 3 inch. As I understand, there were less than 300 of these SSS made.

Though it has chrome lined barrels, I will not insult the birds with steel shot and have shot only 3 inch Bismuth in for ducks, geese, and sandhill crane.

Donovan, did you ever measure your SCC's chambers?

What about the .740 bore measurements? Is that a rumor or truth? What about the "heavier barrel" statement? Now we have owners who have SC models with both 2 3/4" and 3" chambers. How about that?
