What kind of choke are you guys using? Do use barrels with rifle sights?
thanks,

Okie John- I use full choke and the factory bead sight. I use buckshot for hunting tight cover and for hunting with dogs. Shots are close, and most often at a moving target, Rifle sights would get in the way.
A note on chokes: Both of my buckshot guns, a Remington 1910 pump 12ga. and a Browning A-5 16ga. were made prior to WWII. Both have 28" full choke barrels with long chokes. In the 12ga, a dime stops a 22" into the barrel from the breech. It patterns much better than my newer Browning BPS with the short screw-in Invector + choke.
My guess is that the long tapered choke of the older guns deforms the shot less than the newer back bored, screw-in choke barrels.
