Had a good day out with it in early season.  It is the full choke.  I was using 1/2 oz number 6 remingtons.  2 1/2". Worked very well.

Was a dream to carry.  So Light.

+1 On what Jerry said.  My littke 22 inch full choke is a dream to carry, swings well in the bush and is very effective with the 2 1/2 inch loads.  It also shoots slugs well.  Great little grouse and snowshoe gun.

Awesome pic's those are some of the biggest bunnies I've seen shot with a .410 in a long time keep up the good work JerryKo. You both are right about how nice these little .410's are to carry.

Thanks.
Ya they were all good size, but the biggest I would have bet was as big as a fat house cat.  I wished I'd of weighed it.  None moved after being hit with the shot.  I was very impressed with the outcome.  Wished I had a dog too, although on that hunt I walked hardly a football field and got those 3 in about 30 minutes. :)
