Another thought to consider, and one that I've added to my shotgun experience, is to buy a shell re-loader, save your empty hulls, and load your own with lighter loads [both shot and powder]. A good AA grade hull can be reloaded about 6 times [always inspect carefully prior to reloading]. My

Go for the 28 inch barrel with screw in chokes. For a few bucks, you can get every choke made and the install / removal tool. Fit the stock to you with careful attention to pull length, comb rise etc etc etc. End result will be a custom fit gun that works for you, with easy change in chokes. All

Re: [MBZ] Shotgun Choke Question

Its not the weight its where the weight is, the length puts it way out there. IIRC the rule of thumb was longer barrels for trap and shorter for skeet, I don't remember for sporting clays, I'd think shorter because fewer of the shots are a long swing. Swing speed suffers in a longer barrel.
