i have a light modified in my shotgun for about 350 days a year. the difference between lm and m is negligable. m will be fine for you for about 98% of the time. don' t worry about the other 2% (turkey, or saboted slugs for deer).

I think it depends on the kind of hunting you do. I use an open choke when hunting with pointing dogs (most of the time). The second barrel is modified. I haven' t tried it but I suppose hunting driven pheasants would require a tighter choke. From what I read there' s a real tendency toward more open chokes.

Damn, we really are a bunch of techno weenies anymore. Toss some clays, learn where your pattern is and how far it will reach. Have a good time hunting. Save the toy talk for AFTER he discovers the joys of wingshooting.
Doesn' t anybody just shoot anymore?
