bigtroot Posted March 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Its a second hand berreta silver pigeon , 687 sporter!. Still unsure tho to which chokes I should be using but will have a rake for some info on here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brown Sauce Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Great work and I bet you've been firmly bitten by your first day out. Hmm choke size, now there's a can of worms, but here goes.... I'm 1/4 in both barrels, but very occasionally swap out for 1/2, but only when shooting clays. Next you'll be asking about shot size lol... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonesbach Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Cracking gun(even if I am biased:)..!) got the earlier 687 sporting before the silver pigeons. 1/4 and 1/2 seems to do everything with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee-kinsman Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 1/2 and 1/2 and leave them in that way you don't have to change them when you use steel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
