I got my old sterlingworth out to the club today, she is in wonderful condition and is choked at .685. to tight for sporting clays, even to tight for trap seems like it would be fine with #4 shot at 40 yards on ducks so here comes the heart breaker i'm going to open the chokes up 15 thou. to make it more useful to me so say goodby to a set of unmolested 30in barrels. better this gun than a parker

If your Sterly is in wonderful condition please reconsider opening the chokes. IMHO 30" barrels should have tight chokes. I've come to like tight chokes and don't find them to be that much of a handicap, but that's just me. I've turned down a number of nice, 30 and 32" guns because the chokes have been reamed out. Try using spreader loads or even better have fun searching for another gun with 26 or 28" barrels with more open factory chokes or one that has been previously modified. Thanks for listening.
