    What do you intend shooting?

    With those chokes you could use 7's or 8's...for small game and still have some wallop for heavy cartridges if after foxes or duck etc..... could be a good all-rounder depending on cartridges used......all depend on what you are hunting.

    For what its worth id leave well enough alone. Im shooting all my game with a a 3/4 and full side by side. Let them out, i know with the semi when i shot my game with it I only ever used 1/2 choke...come to think about it all my clays where shot with the semi 1/2 choke. 1/2 choke is a good all round choke.

    Id do just that see about hitting a few clays with it over the summer, most counties will have a side by side comp in the County shoot.

    All i have ever used in my life has been 32g 6 or 28 grm 6 in all my game shooting and 1/2 choke as I said. Try it out and put the whole choke business out of your head.

    I know a man who shoots all his clays (Sporting) with a GTi trap gun and he wont be beating.
