Thanks for the great advice!! I have shot with the factory choke and 3" Winchester 6' s. I took most shots at 25 yards because that seems to be the range that I find myself taking shots. (All two of them!) I had a good pattern at this range but I might try the heavy shot and try a few at 30 to 40 yards with the 3 1/2 shells. Any other advice would be appreciated. I priced other shotguns and for the money I can' t say that I am disappointed. By the way, it did come with the tru-glo sights which I failed to mention the last time I posted.
