It's a good reliable gun. Almost bought one (put a deposit on
it) for the ex GF in 20 bore. Still thinking of adding it to my
ticket, would make a good hide gun for the pigeons

The one I was getting had 5 choke tubes with it. There might be
special trap and skeet versions with fixed chokes though
Its a good duck gun

Lol, on my Beratta I use imp cyl for pigeon and crow, and with
plastic wad that gives about 1/4 or 1/2, and can drop birds out
to 60-70 metres.
For duck use 1/2 choke MAX as that will be steel shot you'll be
firing, and you aren't allowed to use more than half choke
without the risk of damaging the gun seriously.
I used to use 1/2 for ducks and full for crows and pigeon,then
dropped to 1/2 for crows and pigeons too, and then eventually
went to imp cyl.
Imp cyl also gives the best and most consistent patterns of
shot.

sounds good to be honest im having trouble getting the hang of
that sarasquetta o/u that i have its fixed chokes. half and full
always hit with the bottom barrel but finding it hard with the
top. i miss a hell of a lot more than i hit lol . thats why im
considering the browning semi auto. prob not make a button of
difference but ive always wanted a semi auto :)
