    So your shotgun came pre threaded for removable chokes? Is that new? I thought they were fixed cylinder.

    I was expecting a fixed choke, the removable choke was a nice surprise.

    So only a rifled choke is enough for sabot slug? Does it have same performance with fully rifled barrel?

    Hmm I'm about to pull the trigger one one and give my model 12 to my other half.

    I really hate the stampings on the gun though, god they are ugly.
