I have a 20ga that takes 3" with a fixed "MODIFIED" choke.
I agree the Model 97 should be hanging on the wall. But this hunt has put me in a bind (didn't read the rules before applying!) It's a one-off hunt and I'm not financially fixed to buy a Hawkins, or handgun, or another shotgun/barrel. Looks like the ballistics are very comperable between 2 3/4" 12ga and 3" 20ga. Much the same drop/energy, etc.
